Welcome

    Covington Family Office exists to help the Scott & Meredith Covington Charitable Family Foundation with philanthropies and leadership of family investments including: public and private equities, real estate, venture capital, and oil & gas ventures. We love to connect with like-hearted charitable organizations and business leaders. Our hope is to honor Christ in all we do.

    Integrity

    The handshake is the deal. Honesty, authenticity and follow-through are foundational requirements. Integrity is more than honesty of words and action. Integrity encompasses the entire endeavor, the entire team, the way of working, the attention to detail. Integrity of the connective tissue between strategy, people, process and technology. 

    Strategy

    We invest in special teams with extreme focus on excellence - people humbly committed to their particular craft. Our phlanthropy begins with our local church and includes outreach to people around the world. We have a heart for students, young people and early-career adults, especially helping them find their calling. We also care deeply about the US war fighters and their families. 

    Growth

    We strive for growth and flourishing of individuals, teams and organizations. We look for ways to come alongside existing organizations to continue to build. Growth involves optimism toward a better future. A growth mindset recognizes that every individual is embued with immeasurable value by God.

    Bio

    Scott is a seasoned investor and entrepreneur with a track record of building high-performance teams and achieving profitable growth at global scale. He brings over 30 years of experience in management consulting, private equity, and technology, with expertise in M&A, strategy, transformation, and growth. What doesn't show up in this summary: the adventures, the failures, the scars, the proverbial "smoke in the cockpit" alongside all the amazing teams and great wins together.

    Scott served on the global leadership team for many years as one of the core Managing Partners of Credera, routinely recognized by Forbes as one of the Best Management Consulting Firms in the World. There, he built and coached teams to help grow the company from one office into a global firm.

    In 2018, Scott and team worked with Evercore to facilitate the majority sale of Credera to Omnicom (NYSE: OMC). Scott stayed on to lead Mergers & Acquisitions as Global Chief Investment Officer, acquiring companies overseas to expand into England, Germany, Singapore, India, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

    Scott established new offices and practices and led client engagements across many industries, advising Fortune 500 c-level leaders with complex organizational transformation, restrucuring and technology engagements. Scott recently rolled off active leadership with Credera to focus on family investments and charitable pursuits. He remains a Credera shareholder. 

    Prior, Scott was co-founder and CEO of two venture-backed technology companies and was COO in a longtime Dallas private equity firm. Scott started his professional career in management consulting with Andersen Consulting, now Accenture. Scott earned a bachelor of science degree at Texas A&M University in 1994 and a certificate in Accounting & Finance at Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2008.

    Scott and Meredith have three kids and enjoy travel adventures together with family and friends and life together at Park Cities Presbyterian Church.
