Structures follow understanding. The conversation must come before the document.
Before new structures are created, before documents are drafted, before decisions are made, there is usually a conversation that needs to happen — about purpose, responsibility, relationships, or what this wealth is ultimately meant to support.
Some engagements are strategic. Others are deeply personal. Most become both.
Marina takes a small number of direct engagements each year alongside her role as Managing Partner of Corecam Private Office, where broader family advisory mandates are delivered through the wider team.
Art collections sit at an awkward intersection: financially significant, culturally resonant, and rarely well-integrated into estate planning. In collaboration with Cadell, Marina helps families bring their collections into coherent succession and governance frameworks — so that objects of meaning are not simply assets to be divided.

A business has been sold.
An inheritance arrives.
A trust becomes relevant.
A family office is created.
Children begin asking new questions.
Structures can change overnight.
People rarely do.
This work helps individuals grow into the responsibility that wealth creates — developing the clarity, confidence and capability to engage meaningfully with ownership, advisers and family decisions.
Suitable for people who are:
Marina speaks from three positions simultaneously: as a researcher who has studied this territory, a practitioner who has advised in it, and someone who has navigated it personally. That combination produces a different kind of conversation.
Current topics:
Marina undertakes and co-authors original research on questions of wealth, ownership, and gender in family enterprise. Her current work includes the Women in Power report – co-authored with Ramia El Agamy and supported by Women in Family Business‚ based on surveys of 106 women across more than 20 countries.
Research enquiries and collaboration proposals are welcome.
Read the report →Marina convenes and facilitates peer gatherings for women wealth owners – small, invitation-only conversations that create space for the questions that rarely get asked in formal advisory settings. She also works individually with women navigating ownership, philanthropic strategy, and impact.
For women seeking a broader community of peers working at the intersection of wealth, impact, and leadership, Marina is a strong advocate for The Beam Network – one of the most serious platforms in this space for women investors and wealth owners. She is an ambassador for Beam and actively encourages women in her network to engage with it.
Get in touch →Giving is rarely just about philanthropy.
It is about expressing values, involving the next generation, and deciding what role wealth should play beyond the family itself.
Marina works with individuals, families and foundations to develop thoughtful giving strategies — from defining purpose and selecting causes to governance design, foundation structures and trusted NGO partnerships.
The goal is not simply to give more, but to give with greater clarity and long-term intention.
Suitable for:
For full family advisory engagements, Marina works as Managing Partner of Corecam Private Office, alongside a team of specialists in Vienna.
