Professional Biography : Ginni Galicinao

A Family Dynamics and Family Enterprise Coach and Consultant, Ginni Galicinao (More at Personal Story) has been working with high net worth individuals and families and their family businesses/enterprises for over two decades, with a goal of helping families flourish in all areas of their lives. From the first conversations around the meaning and impact of wealth, to empowering the rising generation, to helping couples work through the pre-prenuptial process, and designing educational programs that take the learning process beyond a discussion of trusts and legal documents, her work creates a solid foundation for life-long learning within the family. She is known for her ability to guide families and family businesses through the family governance process, the creation and implementation of effective family offices, succession planning and preparing for family business transitions and the evolution of the family business.

With a strong background in facilitation and mediation, many families in the process of transferring leadership of their family business and/or family foundation to the rising generation, have sought Ginni’s strategic planning guidance. She is astute at facilitating and mediating discussions around confusing; interlocking roles and systems, and helping them create strategies that enable the family to make their way through the unique dynamics of a family business.

One individual likened her role to that of a Chief Learning Officer for families of wealth. For many, their introduction to Ginni is often the first time they’ve given serious attention to these issues as a family, or attempted to implement the information they have acquired from prior wealth seminars. The work she does is at the root of enabling families and their rising generations to flourish, thrive, and to make good, thoughtful decisions.

Ginni brings a variety of tools to the table in designing Family Retreats and strategies that match the specific needs of each family. She has been coaching, mediating, facilitating and consulting since 2004. Her background includes extensive experience, training, degrees and certifications in Advanced Family Business Advising, Advanced Family Wealth Advising, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy, Organization and Family Relationship Systems, Executive Coaching, Compassionate Communication, Crucial Conversations, Professional Mediation, and a B.S. in Organizational Behavior from the University of San Francisco.
