Stephen Martiros, Advisory Director

CCC Alliance is the only consortium that is founded and run by families who share the experiences of the members. The CCC Alliance founders have generated, managed and grown their family’s wealth. They created their family offices and have managed the generational shifts, moved family enterprises into new areas of wealth creation while preserving existing wealth, and run venture capital and private equity funds. The founders are actively involved in their family’s charitable foundations, have raised children in an environment of wealth and responsibility and have dealt with the many complex challenges of working with one’s family.

If experience is the best teacher, CCC Alliance and its network of families provides the finest hands-on learning environment in the family arena. CCC Alliance exists so that families can help each other.
