Linda Mack Featured Speaker at 2026 IPI Mid-Year Investment & Family Forum in New York City

Linda Mack Shares Expertise on Executive Compensation Strategies for Family Offices Alongside Industry Leaders.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, July 2026 —

Linda C. Mack, Founder of Mack International, was a featured speaker at the 2026 Institute for Private Investors (IPI) Mid-Year Investment & Family Forum, held June 10-11 in New York City. The exclusive gathering convened prominent family office principals, private investors, and trusted advisors from across North America to discuss the evolving challenges and opportunities facing family enterprises and wealth management.

Linda participated in the panel discussion, “Compensation Structuring for Family Office Executives & Key Talent,” alongside Trish Botoff, Founder and Managing Partner of Botoff Consulting, and moderator Saul Rudo, Partner, Chair of Transactional Tax Planning, and Co-Chair of Family Offices at Katten.

The session explored one of the most critical issues facing family offices today: attracting and retaining exceptional executive talent in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Panelists examined innovative approaches to compensation design, including long-term incentive plans, carried interest arrangements, phantom equity, deferred compensation, non-compete considerations, and the tax implications of various compensation structures for both principals and key executives.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience advising family offices and family enterprises, Linda shared insights into the strategic role compensation plays in leadership retention and organizational success. The discussion emphasized that compensation should be viewed not simply as an expense, but as a long-term investment in the people who drive continuity, performance, and multigenerational success. According to highlights shared following the forum, approximately 75% of family office operating costs are related to compensation, while nearly half of family offices now utilize long-term incentive plans as part of their executive retention strategies.

Commenting on the event, Linda Mack said:

“It was an honor to join Trish Botoff and Saul Rudo in discussing one of the most important priorities facing family offices today—building compensation strategies that attract, motivate, and retain exceptional leadership. As family offices continue to evolve and become more sophisticated organizations, thoughtful talent strategies remain a critical differentiator. I appreciated the opportunity to exchange ideas with such an engaged audience of family office executives and advisors.”
