His keynote topics include The Great Wealth Transfer, family enterprise structuring and succession planning, and investment and wealth management. He also covers the ten family wealth conversations that families must have. For example, succession, Brad argues, is so much more than just the estate plan.

Family member engagement and education feature heavily in Brad’s keynotes too. He explains why wealth management for family offices looks fundamentally different from the mainstream approach. As a result, audiences leave with a clear framework for navigating conversations that many families avoid.

Brad founded the Institute for Family Wealth to advance education in this space. He also founded the Giving Simple Foundation, extending his focus into philanthropy. In addition, he holds tertiary qualifications in Accounting and Business, giving his keynotes a technical foundation alongside real-world family office experience.
