Hi, I'm Philip

For 25 years I have been helping families-in-business nurture and develop their next generation of successors.

I believe that well-managed, well-structured development of family talent will result in a better outcome for individual successors and for the family enterprise.

What is The Successor Academy?

It is a successful, proven way to guide and equip the next generation of successors with the knowledge and skills to define their contribution to the family business.

I deliver this framework in three different ways: my annual Flagship Group Programme, topic-led Workshops and Individual Coaching.

The Flagship Group Progamme commences in May of each year.

I'm Philip Mackeown

I'm a published author, an independent coach and mentor to family business successors. I am a 5th-generation member of the Musgrave family - Ireland's largest grocery distributor, employing 41,000 people.

My extensive experience (good and bad) led me to publish a book called 'The Successor's Voice'. A valuable resource for successors of family firms to discover their possibilities, decide on their contribution and contribute to the family company.
