⛰️ Our Company

Trusted Family is the leading communication and governance platform for family businesses. It was founded 15 years ago by two Next Gens of very large European Families (Aliaxis and Solvay). Since then, close to 200 family enterprises spanning 25 countries have joined us, many of them being behind Fortune 500 companies, including Michelin, Yves Rocher, and Vermeer. Our platform allows them to have a centralized tool to communicate, organize events, streamline the education of the Next Generations, browse through the family tree, and many more. Our mission is to be the technology that unifies family enterprises across generations.

We have just launched our brand new product, making it more exciting than ever to join us and bring Trusted Family to the next level of growth and development.

🎉 Our Culture

Trusted Family operates as a hybrid company. We have 25 amazing team members representing 10 nationalities and living in many parts of the world: United States, Mexico, Colombia, Portugal, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, and India. We hire smart, autonomous, and driven individuals who are passionate about what they do and convinced about the impact we have on the families we serve. We gather all together at least once a year during a memorable Company Offsite (this year in Lisbon) and have many occasions to meet in our regions during industry events or client conferences that we organize.
