About Scott Gingold

I’ve built, scaled, and successfully exited seven companies—and lived inside the chaos of family-run operations. I know how hard it is to separate business decisions from dinner table drama. That’s why I step in—not to mediate feelings, but to fix what’s broken so your business and your family can thrive together.


I didn’t just study family business—I was raised in one. From an early age, I saw the real-world challenges that arise when family dynamics, legacy, and business operations intersect. I’ve been at the kitchen table for tough personal conversations and at the boardroom table for high-stakes decisions.


Whether you're overwhelmed by behind-the-scenes tension, struggling with misaligned leadership, or simply stuck in operational quicksand—I bring clarity, calm, and strategy to complex situations. My approach is direct, compassionate, and results-driven. No fluff. No jargon. Just honest conversations backed by real-world experience and fast, practical solutions.


If you’re running a family business and feeling the weight of legacy, pressure, and competing voices—you’re not alone. Let’s talk. Because it doesn’t have to stay this hard.

What I Do for Family Businesses

  • Leadership Alignment: It's crucial to get everyone on the same page and moving in the same direction within your leadership team. This means establishing a unified vision for the company's future, ensuring all leaders are aligned on strategic goals, and fostering a shared understanding of priorities. When leadership is truly aligned, decisions are made more efficiently, initiatives are executed seamlessly, and the entire organization benefits from clear, consistent direction. This reduces internal friction and propels the business forward with purpose.


  • Succession & Transition Planning:  Navigate handoffs with clarity, not conflict. Navigate handoffs with clarity, not conflict, by implementing robust succession and transition planning. This process ensures a smooth and strategic transfer of knowledge, responsibilities, and leadership roles, whether due to retirement, new opportunities, or restructuring. By proactively defining roles, timelines, and training needs, you can minimize disruption, preserve institutional knowledge, and avoid the common pitfalls of inter-family or inter-departmental conflicts that often arise during periods of change.


  • Conflict Repair & Communication:  Coaching Resolve tensions before they become deal-breakers. Effective conflict repair and communication coaching helps you resolve tensions before they become deal-breakers. This involves equipping individuals and teams with the skills to address disagreements constructively, fostering open and honest dialogue, and mediating sensitive issues. By creating a culture where conflicts are seen as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles, you can prevent minor disagreements from escalating into significant disputes that threaten relationships, productivity, or even the viability of the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're running a family-owned or founder-led business and you're frustrated by misalignment, decision bottlenecks, or tension that goes unspoken but not unfelt—yes, you're in the right place.

This is especially for you if:

  • You're successful but exhausted.
     
  • You're trying to transition leadership but it feels like walking on eggshells.
     
  • You’ve already “talked it out” a hundred times and nothing changes.
     

This isn’t therapy. This is strategy with heart and backbone.


Most clients feel immediate relief after our first clarity call—because someone’s finally naming what’s really going on. Depending on the package, you’ll start seeing tangible changes within the first few weeks.


This isn’t endless coaching. I work fast, focus on what matters, and build a plan you can use immediately—without needing me forever.


I don’t sell fluff, frameworks, or feel-good platitudes. I’ve built and exited 7 businesses. I’ve been the founder, the fixer, and sometimes the guy putting out family fires before they burn down the brand.


I’ve lived this. And I’m not here to sell theory. I’m here to fix what’s broken, make your business stronger, and help your family actually want to show up again.


Then we talk about it—honestly, directly, and without excuses. I don't disappear when things get uncomfortable. If something’s not working, we adjust fast.


That said, I don’t take on clients unless I believe I can help. If you do the work, stay engaged, and communicate openly, you’ll see results. If not, I’ll tell you straight—and help you find someone who might be a better fit. No ego, just outcomes.
