Under the leadership of Douglas Kalen, Co-founder, and Benjamin Diwan, who succeeded his father in 2024, Crescendo serves over 200 families. Over the past 20 years, Crescendo has earned a reputation as the trusted, unconflicted, and long-term partner for prominent families across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
