Box Family Advisors
As the youngest son of WWII veteran, NFL star, and relentless businessman Cloyce K. Box, Douglas D. Box experienced firsthand both the incredible heights of family business success and the painful depths of struggle and failure.
The Box family was once a formidable player in the Texas business world, controlling a number of public and private companies with interests in oil and gas, cement manufacturing, and real estate. Unfortunately, that success was not destined to last. Following his fatherÔÇÖs sudden death and a litigious four-year family ordeal, Doug led the sale of the familyÔÇÖs oil and gas business. Today, Doug is a certified family business advisor, author, and public speaker based in Dallas. He helps clients with succession planning, corporate governance, dispute resolution, and family meetings while espousing a unique philosophy: Family businesses must prioritize relationships over money to truly thrive through the generations.
