“David Bork was one of the original pioneers in the field of family business consulting. I was introduced to David more than 15 years ago through our involvement with the Family Firm Institute. Over the years, David has shared his insights and expertise on numerous occasions that have proven to be invaluable. In addition to assisting some of our clients, he has also been a friend and advocate of Pitcairn Financial Group. His bold style of speaking the truth about the critical challenges facing family businesses and families of wealth is refreshing. David’s tremendous reputation, depth of experience, and his ability to affect profound change in family systems is truly impressive. I consider David a partner, collaborator, and a friend and value his ongoing contributions to our firm as well as all family businesses.”

"As I travel the globe for my family business clients and for my own family’s Industrial Group, I find it difficult to identify one single family business consultant as multi-cultural and as multi-talented as David Bork. With unmatched years of international experience in family business consultancy, Bork is equally comfortable and efficient working with a Turkish family, a Belgian family or a North-American entrepreneur. Bork is an avid student of national cultures around the world. Therefore his direct and candid advice to his family clients is always peppered with subtle cultural nuances to ensure that the right message is received by the right people. David Bork is one of a kind and a true Global Family Business Consultant!"

“David Bork is genuine, curious, playful, charismatic, insightful, provoking and caring. It’s a powerful combination in the service of families in business. He is also a great friend, supportive colleague, opinion leader, and “convocateur”. David has a refreshingly youthful presence for a guy with that much wisdom. A paradox, he is not, though he fortunately embodies all of these apparent contradictions. And they are all available to client families who choose him as a guide in that wonderfully complex world of family business continuity.”
