Succession in Family Businesses
(8+ Years)Orhan Erkut specializes in generational transition for family businesses, bringing over 8 years of experience and deep academic research to his work. Since 2018, he has systematically studied academic publications from the 1960s to today, combining this knowledge with field experience to create a unique model.
He views generational transition as a strategic, reliable, and transformative process—not simply “heir selection.” Because each family’s structure, partnership dynamics, and individual potential are unique, he provides personalized solutions rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
Through SPALDA Academy, launched in 2022, he supports both generations: preparing the next generation (NextGen) to become responsible shareholders and leaders, while guiding the current generation (NowGen) through retirement and role transition via mentorship.
