Brian Weiner is the Founder & CEO of The Family Office Growth Partners.
For nearly 25 years, Brian has served as a trusted advisor to successful entrepreneurs and family enterprises in the areas of investment, tax, governance, and philanthropy. Brian’s distinguished background as a successful entrepreneur, family wealth transition expert, and former international trade representative gives him a unique perspective that his clients respect and value. Brian is deeply passionate about guiding families to establish robust family governance programs that ensure a lasting legacy. This passion inspired his creation of the innovative “Seed for Success™” program, which empowers affluent families to seamlessly transition significant wealth while cultivating resilience and unity across generations, preparing the next generation for responsible stewardship.
Brian began his career in 1996 as the Deputy Trade Commissioner for the Government of Israel (Southwestern, United States), where he facilitated joint ventures/strategic partnerships on behalf of U.S. and Israeli companies. After government service, Brian launched an entrepreneurial start-up that was later sold in 1999 and mentioned by Fred DeLuca (Founder of Subway) in his book, “Start Small Finish Big!”.
In 2000, Brian was recruited by Smith Barney where he built a family office focused practice working with real estate principals and business owners with multi-national holdings. At the encouragement of his clients, Brian left the banking world to form Allied Advisors, an independent Multi-Family Office. Within five years, Allied grew to oversee and influence in excess of $5 billion of family wealth. In 2008, Brian sold Allied and was recruited as a Senior Director for BNY Mellon where he originated $500 million of assets under management and facilitated the closing on over $100 million of real estate loans for his clients.
In 2014, in collaboration with Ryan Rhodes and the Rhodes family office, Brian founded Manifest Recovery Centers as a social impact investment to help people struggling with mental health and substance abuse.
Brian is a graduate from UC Santa Barbara, where he studied political science/economics, attended Hebrew University’s Overseas School in Jerusalem, graduated Suffolk Law School, and is a participant in Columbia Business School’s Executive MBA Program.
Since 2010, Brian is an active member of various Boards: YPO Palm Beach Gold Chapter, Chair of the Financial Forum, Circle of Founders of the Motion Picture Academy Museum, a Co-founder (with the Nazarian Family) of the Citizens’ Empowerment Center in Israel and The Behavioral Healthcare Community Endowment Foundation.
