Evolution Across Generations: The Caroline Rose Hunt Family Story

Caroline Rose Hunt was the 3rd child of H.L. Hunt Jr. an American oil tycoon and entrepreneur. She established her family enterprise in the early 1980s, focusing on hotels and leisure, and exited in 2011. Today the enterprise holding company, The Rosewood Corporation, has a centralized ownership structure, headed by John Dziminski, enterprise president. John oversees three diversified business lines including oil and gas exploration, private equity direct investments, and real estate direct ownership. John also oversees the family office, the family’s private trust company for all family trusts, and manages the trustee function. John will take attendees through the journey of Caroline Hunt’s family enterprise evolution.

FOX Forum Agenda for Thursday  

Disruptions and Their Impact on Family Offices 

The pandemic has created tremendous disruption on many levels causing dramatic changes in how we work, communicate, travel and manage risk. Our reliance and integration of technology has created data security risks across the office and family. Talent is on the move, and it remains difficult to find and retain critical employees, and where and how they work has forever changed. The regulatory and tax landscape is rapidly shifting, causing a renewed focus on longer term planning and structural changes in the office. Succession in the family and family office similarly changes the work and governance structures needed to be successful. Join us for this session to get a clear picture on the challenges you need to be addressing in your office and the boardroom in the coming years and actionable advice on how to manage them.

Intelligent Family Offices: Changing Our Way of Thinking and Operating 

Family office technology continues to grow at an exponential rate. While the new technologies are exciting, many family offices are still dealing in old data methods. The technologies of the early aughts are no longer sufficient for future client demands but changing them isn’t like changing a light bulb. What challenges and opportunities should you be ready for? Which systems should you evolve first? What do you need to get your data ready for the transformation? What steps can you take to prepare for the family office of the future and better serve your clients? The answers include a new way of thinking and a new operational approach.
