Indosuez launches Asia family business leadership programme

Indosuez Wealth Management has launched the Asia edition of the Indosuez Academy with INSEAD, supporting the next generation of family business leaders with leadership, governance and succession skills.

The programme, themed “Leading with Intent and Purpose”, was held in Singapore from 26 to 29 October 2026. Indosuez Wealth Management partnered with leading business school INSEAD to design the Academy’s programme. The Academy’s first edition in Asia was held at INSEAD’s Asia Campus in Singapore from 26 to 29 October 2026. The participants, primarily children and grandchildren of the bank’s clients, came from around the globe, including Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Europe and America.

Mathieu Ferragut, Deputy CEO, Indosuez Wealth Management, said, “For over 150 years, Indosuez has guided global families through complex cross-generational transitions. Bringing together a diverse 2026 cohort from multiple countries, this programme is designed to cultivate strong stewardship and entrepreneurial vision. We are proud to offer these next-generation leaders a unique platform to expand their knowledge, connect with global peers, and embrace their future roles with clear purpose.”

Laurent Proutière, Chief Executive Officer, Asia, Indosuez Wealth Management, said, “As Asia undergoes a massive intergenerational wealth transfer, the Academy’s launch in our region is very timely. Business founders are increasingly focused on succession planning, and Indosuez is committed to supporting this next generation of leaders. Through this bespoke programme, we accompany future family business leaders along their journey as they shape their vision and objectives and step up to guide their legacies.”

The programme provided an immersive curriculum that equipped participants with resilient leadership, crisis communication, and governance skills to balance legacy preservation with strategic growth and innovation.

Antoine Duvauchelle, Programme Director, INSEAD, said, “The programme provided a safe space for the participants to have their assumptions challenged, learn from each other and reflect on how they lead and make decisions. It has been gratifying to observe how they are taking on board these learnings and evaluating what can be applied to their own business and family context as they prepare for the responsibilities that come with taking over the reins.”
