Leadership in Family Business

Conversation with Alfonso Libano, FBN International Chairman & Family Business Leaders


Leading a family business is like navigating a journey filled with incredible highs and inevitable challenges. It's a rewarding path, but not without its moments of uncertainty โ€” especially in today's fast-changing world.

As a family business leader, you know the joy of continuing a legacy and the weight of ensuring its future. The responsibility to honor the past while innovating for the future can feel overwhelming. But here's the truth: you're not alone.


Join us for an intimate afternoon, heart-to-heart conversation with fellow members who've walked this path. Hear their personal stories of resilience: how they overcame tough times, learned from setbacks, and found success through perseverance.


We're especially excited to welcome Alfonso Libano, who will openly share his journey, lessons, and moments of growth.


Come spend a meaningful afternoon with us โ€” a time for connection, learning, and inspiration. We can't wait to see you there!
