Dr Peter Lorange combines direct business experience, including entrepreneurial success, with academic research. As chair of S. Ugelstad Invest, he has overseen the sale of a legacy business in the shipping industry and the development of a thriving portfolio covering shipping, real estate, business education, stocks/bonds and ventures. He is the founder of the Lorange Network, an innovative business education service established in 2018 that grew rapidly before its sale to IMD Business School. As a business academic and honorary president of IMD, he is able to blend academic rigor with his direct business experience to offer a guide to findings on family business portfolios, combined with advice on their effective stewardship.
