Your Business is More Than an Asset. It's a Heritage

Family-owned businesses face challenges that typical corporations do not. How do you prepare the next generation? How do you balance family dynamics with market demands? How do you monetize your life's work without destroying its legacy?

Many consultants offer generic financial advice, lacking the specialized understanding of family governance. Others understand family dynamics but lack the high-level financial expertise to execute complex M&A, valuations, or project finance

You need a partner who speaks both languages

The Bocconi Method: Where Global Finance Meets Family Governance

Our approach is built on a unique foundation: the analytical rigor of top-tier strategy consulting combined with a deep specialization in family business governance, honed at SDA Bocconi in Italy—home to the world's most enduring family enterprises

We don't just build models; we build consensus

My experience includes advising global, family-controlled leaders like Roche and Votorantim Group (via Auren Energia), as well as specific MBA training at Bocconi and Yale on"Italian Excellence: Mastering Lifestyle Management in family owned business"

We bring the financial sophistication of a multi-billion dollar M&A deal to your family's most important decisions

About Hermes Nascimento, MBA

I am a strategy and M&A specialist dedicated to helping family-owned businesses navigate their most complex financial and strategic challenges

My analytical foundation was built on a history of multiple math and physics olympiad medals, leading to a career in high-stakes corporate finance. I helped execute a $1.2B acquisition at Auren Energia (Votorantim Group) and advised on multi-billion dollar investment strategies at L.E.K. Consulting

Realizing that the most successful companies (like Roche and Votorantim) were often family-controlled, I pursued an MBA at SDA Bocconi in Milan. There, I specialized in the unique governance and long-term financial strategies that allow family enterprises to endure

My mission is to bring that same institutional-grade expertise to your family, protecting what you've built and preparing it for the future
