About From Success to Succession

How Africa’s founders are protecting their legacy.

Africa’s founder generation built extraordinary businesses — yet only around a third of family businesses survive into the second generation. The difference is rarely talent. It is structure: decided early, written down and governed.

From Success to Succession is a private one-hour briefing hosted by Anissa Boulahya, CEO of Dawia Family Office, on what actually protects a lifetime of work: succession without probate, family governance, the difference between assets a structure should hold and simply administer, and why African families increasingly structure through the UAE — illustrated by a real (anonymised) family case. The briefing closes with open Q&A and private networking.
