She helps families to design tailored governance structures, create more effective board structures, form and govern family offices, set up shareholder councils, navigate complex transactions, and make trusts more functional. Amelia graduated with honors from Yale College and Harvard Law School and holds an LLM in Taxation from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. In addition to authoring Engaged Ownership, Amelia created The Engagement Toolkit and has authored articles for numerous family business and family office publications.
