Strategic advisory for leaders and families

8Dimension provides family office advisory for executives and private families who need a discreet sounding board on high-stakes decisions.

Leaders and families often face decisions that cannot be discussed openly with staff, partners or even other advisers. 8Dimension provides private, strategic counsel to executives, business owners and family offices on high-stakes matters, offering an experienced and independent voice that has the principal’s interests as its only priority.

8Dimension is led by a former owner and CEO of a large security company, with analyst experience and a record of advising government-level officials. That experience informs advice that is practical, direct and grounded in how decisions play out in the real world.

Where we help

• Major business and personal decisions requiring a trusted second opinion
• Sensitive transitions, including succession and changes in leadership
• Disputes with partners, family members or counterparties
• Evaluating new ventures, investments and opportunities
• Coordinating the family’s wider group of advisers
• Protecting privacy and reputation alongside wealth

A confidential sounding board

Many clients use 8Dimension as a standing adviser they can call on whenever something important arises. Because we are multi-disciplinary, a single relationship can cover strategy, security, reputation, real estate and innovation without bringing new people into the circle.

Family office advisory

For family offices, we complement existing legal, tax and investment advisers. We focus on the questions that sit between disciplines, such as how a decision affects the family’s security, privacy and reputation as well as its finances.

Discretion as standard

We accept clients through trusted introductions only, and we never publicize who we work with.

Why clients choose 8Dimension

Leaders and families choose 8Dimension because they need an adviser with no agenda other than theirs. We do not manage assets, sell products or earn fees from third parties, which allows us to give direct, honest counsel on decisions that others may be reluctant to challenge.

Our experience leading a large company and advising at government level means we are comfortable with complex, high-stakes situations, and we understand how personal, business and reputational considerations interact for people in prominent positions.

Clients appreciate that our counsel is personal and continuous. The adviser who understands the family’s history and priorities is the same one they speak to each time, which builds trust and makes advice faster and more relevant.

How engagements work

Most relationships begin with a confidential meeting to understand the principal’s priorities and current advisers. Clients may then retain 8Dimension as a standing counsel available whenever a significant matter arises, or engage us for a specific decision, transition or dispute with an agreed scope.
