Lightfoot, Franklin & White LLC has promoted Chief Financial Officer Warren Nash to executive director. In this newly created position, Nash will play a critical role in the firm’s overall business strategy, while continuing to serve as CFO.
“As Lightfoot has grown, evolving beyond our smaller beginnings to a more substantial presence serving clients regionally and nationally, the creation of an executive director role became a clear next step for us,” said Managing Partner Melody Eagan. “Warren’s strategic and financial acumen, combined with his extensive experience, make him the ideal candidate to guide our firm into a successful and innovative future.”
Nash attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and earned his bachelor’s degree in banking and finance from Mississippi State University. He holds an MBA from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a master’s degree in theological studies from Emory University. He also is a graduate of the American Bankers Association’s Stonier Graduate School of Banking.
“I am deeply honored by this opportunity to expand my contribution to Lightfoot’s success,” said Nash. “This role is about more than overseeing daily operations; it’s about securing our firm’s future — supporting our staff and lawyers and ensuring they have a solid foundation to deliver the highest level of service to our clients.”
Lightfoot has offices in Birmingham and Houston with more than 60 lawyers working on complex business litigation, internal and government investigations, risk management and compliance counsel for clients across the country and around the world.
