Tim Brown

Tim Brown is the Co-Founder and Chairman of Fortaleza and Somos22, two complementary platforms serving senior leaders and principals within the global family office ecosystem. His work is grounded in a simple conviction: enduring outcomes are not created through transactions or access alone, but through trusted relationships cultivated over time, what he refers to as Connection Capital.

Tim’s perspective is shaped by direct experience inside institutional and single-family office environments. He is the Founder of TTB and has served in leadership and consulting capacities with The Anschutz Investment Company/The Anschutz Corporation and also serves on the board of a single-family office in Atlanta, providing governance-level perspective on leadership, stewardship, and continuity in complex, multi-generational systems.

Through Somos22, Tim curates high-trust gatherings and relational architecture across family offices, professional managers, and aligned specialists globally. Fortaleza builds on that foundation as the invite-only depth layer, centered on closed forums, relational continuity, and long-horizon dialogue among leaders who sit at the “pinch point” of daily decisions. Rather than focusing on events or information, Fortaleza is intentionally structured to compound trust over time through small-group forums, shared context, and aligned introductions.
In parallel, Tim leads Somos22 Consulting, where he works directly with family offices and aligned institutions to design strategic relationship ecosystems, bespoke programming, and governance-forward dialogue formats. His consulting work integrates forum architecture, curated introductions, and long-term alignment strategy, helping organizations think not only about capital deployment, but about relational deployment and leadership continuity.

Tim has been deeply involved in the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), serving as Chapter Chair, Learning Officer, Chair of the YPO Investing Network, and co-founder of the YPO Chicago Booth School Seminar and YPO Investing Network Forums. These experiences shaped his belief that well-structured peer forums can move from perspective to integration to transformational awareness.

He is the author of Jumping into the Parade and Old School with New Tools. Tim holds a bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University and continues to explore how leaders design not only financial architecture, but relational and stewardship architecture that endures across generations.
