“A lot of family office principals, unless they’ve worked in finance – they should not be solely making the decision on which RIA to hire.” – Scott Saslow

Scott Saslow is the founder, CEO, and family office principal for ONE WORLD. He's also the founder and CEO of The Institute of Executive Development, as well as the author of Building a Sustainable Family Office: An Insider's Guide to What Works and What Doesn't, which at the time of the podcast launch is the only book written for family office principals by a family office principal. Scott is also the host of the podcast Family Office Principals where he interviews principals on how families can be made to be more resilient. Prior, he’s also found independent success at both Microsoft and Seibel Systems.
