Vic Preisser applies his 40 years of business and government experience to family ownership issues, focusing upon the development of career paths for family members/heirs. With eight companies where he served as CEO or Senior Management, two state level cabinet appointments, and three businesses within his own family, Vic brings a breadth of practical experience that has proven essential to family coaching.

Vic served as the Director of the Institute for Family Business and Resident Professor of Management at the University of the Pacific. As a frequent lecturer to graduate schools of major educational institutions, he has authored numerous case studies on strategic and organizational issues.

Co-author of the books Preparing Heirs and Philanthropy, Heirs & Values, Vic's specialty within The Williams Group is coaching and mentoring heirs on career choices, assisting heirs as they adjust those choices, and training institutions to work with their high net worth clients on wealth transfer issues.

He is a strong advocate for transparency and accountability in the management of family assets. A major tool is his substantial expertise in developing routine communication tools for heirs (and benefactors) to use as they track their progress toward the mission of the family wealth.

With three years service in the US Army, Vic also holds BS (summa cum laude) and MBA degrees, both from Stanford University.
