A boutique advisory and management firm dedicated to the families and founders who build something worth protecting — and passing on.
The best gift you can give your loved ones isn't just financial security—it is peace of mind. Wealth transfer should be a transition of legacy, not a source of crisis.
In 26 years of doing this work, I have never seen such frequent changes to global regulations.
Ever-increasing KYC and AML compliance requirements can stall even the simplest financial transitions.
Many international jurisdictions are rejecting digital signatures entirely, requiring physical paperwork and manual execution.
Traditional Power of Attorney documents are holding less and less weight with global financial institutions.
When prospective clients sit down with me for an initial consultation, they almost always ask:
"So, Leah, what structure do you recommend?"
My honest answer is always: "I don’t know yet."
Every jurisdiction and every legal structure has its pros and cons. The right choice depends entirely on your family's unique blueprint and financial landscape.
The Scale of Wealth: What is the total magnitude of the wealth, and how is it distributed across different borders?
The Type of Assets: What exactly are we protecting? Structuring an active operating business requires a fundamentally different playbook than managing real estate portfolios, liquid wealth, or private equity.
Your Priorities & Operations: What are your immediate goals, and how does your family naturally operate day-to-day?
The Human Element: Who are the family members, and what are their specific competencies, dynamics, and personal aspirations?
Designing the future of your family legacy is a complicated, lengthy journey. But you don't have to walk it alone. We break the complexity down into small, digestible pieces.
Every option is presented with clear pros and cons.
We gently challenge your assumptions to ensure your plan can withstand real-world pressures.
When a unique cross-border challenge arises, we tap into our vetted international network for the exact compliance and legal intelligence you need.
We are here to give you more options to consider, the clarity to make better choices, and the absolute confidence that your family's future is secure.
With modern advancements in longevity, a critical question has emerged: What good is a long life if we lack the vitality to enjoy it?
The period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease and cognitive decline, maintaining a high quality of life.
While we are living longer, even younger generations are increasingly burdened by chronic conditions like asthma and allergies, alongside lifestyle illnesses such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer.
As we work closely with business families to manage the complex landscapes of their lives, we have naturally become deeply involved in supporting their most valuable asset: their mental and physical health.
Through years of personal and professional experience, we have learned a fundamental truth: there is no magic pill. True health is a foundation built on daily lifestyle and mindset.
Unrivaled in treating acute illnesses, handling emergencies, and managing immediate symptoms.
Exceptionally skilled at addressing chronic conditions and targeting the true root causes of illness.
Western medical systems view the human body like a machine. We reject that view. Our approach embraces a more profound philosophy: the body is an interconnected, interdependent, and highly sophisticated biosphere. When you treat one part, you impact the whole.
Korea is a global leader in the advanced bio-industry. Backed by a proactive government driving cutting-edge clinical trials, the country boasts world-class medical facilities and pioneering healthcare professionals.
What truly sets our partner institutions apart is their culture of profound kindness and empathy — treating you person-to-person, nurturing emotional and psychological well-being just as deeply as physical health.
If you are navigating a chronic illness, feeling the strain of modern lifestyle diseases, or simply want to optimize your health span to match your life span, you do not have to figure it out alone.

We explore your health history, lifestyle, and goals to map out a tailored integrative approach.
Let's explore how integrative medical treatment and a holistic approach can restore balance and vitality to your life.
Leah Zveglich is a trusted advisor, serial entrepreneur, and family office executive who has spent over two decades guiding family businesses across the globe. Since 2000, she has specialized in succession planning, leadership transitions, and the creation of social enterprises.
Leah's unique approach blends real-world entrepreneurial grit with a profound understanding of human dynamics. She believes that a family's true legacy isn't just financial—it is deeply rooted in its human, intellectual, and social capital.
Leah is a quintessential global citizen. She has lived in 10 countries and worked in more than 20. This massive global exposure gives her an unparalleled ability to navigate complex cross-cultural dynamics, solve intricate organizational issues, and connect diverse business families across international borders.
True wealth management requires understanding the people behind the portfolio. Leah's expertise is backed by her studies in Organizational Behavior and Positive Psychology at Harvard University. She applies these human-centric disciplines to help families manage the emotional and behavioral shifts required for multi-generational succession.
Empathy Born from Experience Leah understands the "founder's dilemma" because she has lived it. A serial entrepreneur who launched her first company at just 20 years old, she has been recognized for her business achievements by The White House and the Young Entrepreneurs Association. She doesn't just advise from a textbook—she has walked miles in her clients' shoes.
Leah’s commitment to sustainable ecosystems extends into the philanthropic sector. Through Aster Impact, a nonprofit organization, she provides pro-bono advisory services to help traditional, donation-reliant nonprofits re-engineer their business models.
By guiding these organizations to transition into self-sustaining social enterprises, she empowers them to generate their own operational revenue. This structural shift frees nonprofits from the endless cycle of donation campaigns, allowing them to focus their energy and resources entirely on what matters most: creating lasting social impact.
When she isn't guiding families through pivotal transitions, Leah feeds her passion for discovering the world. She is an avid reader, painter, and cook, who loves chasing adventure through scuba diving and skiing.
Every family business is a living story. The decisions you make today about leadership continuity, governance, and structure will echo for decades. Aster Coop is here to make sure those decisions are made thoughtfully, confidently, and on your terms.
Whether you're navigating your first major transition or planning a legacy that spans generations, we bring the patience, perspective, and partnership you deserve.
