Wesley Britt, husband of U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery), is joining Gulf Coast development company 68 Ventures as the new executive vice president and member of the company’s executive leadership team.
68 Ventures, based in Daphne, is the parent company for multiple development and investment businesses along the Gulf Coast. Founder and Chairman Nathan Cox, President Adam Campbell and CEO Drew Dolan welcomed Britt to the team, saying they expect the move to advance their growth across the Southeast.
“Wesley and I have talked for years about the possibility of working together full time, and I am completely confident this is the right opportunity at the right time,” said Cox. “We are fired up to welcome him to our executive leadership team as we continue carrying out our purpose: to see all we can do with all we have been given.”
Wesley Britt said, "68 Ventures has built one of the most dynamic and respected organizations in the Southeast. What Nathan, Adam, Drew, and the entire team have created is truly remarkable. The company’s entrepreneurial culture, long-term vision, and commitment to making a positive impact in the communities it serves align closely with my own values.”
In his role, Britt will focus on business development, strategic partnerships, acquisition sourcing, economic development initiatives and other growth opportunities across the company’s real estate, operating company and investment platforms. He brings experience from Fine Geddie governmental affairs firm, where he served as a partner, and Alabama Power, where he spent more than a decade in leadership roles. The former All-American offensive lineman at the University of Alabama and former NFL veteran with the New England Patriots said he looks forward to the opportunity to join the team.
“I am deeply grateful for my time at Fine Geddie and for the friendships, experiences, and opportunities I have had there,” Britt added. “It would have taken an extraordinary opportunity for me to make this transition, and I believe strongly in Nathan’s vision, the people of 68 Ventures, and everything the company is positioned to accomplish in the years ahead. I am excited to contribute to its next chapter and to work alongside people who challenge me to grow and make a meaningful difference.”
Joe Fine, of Fine Geddie & Associates, wished Britt success in his new role.
"We are excited that Wesley has this great opportunity with such an outstanding and important company, 68 Ventures," Fine said. "We will miss him at Fine Geddie and hate to see him leave. Wesley has been a great asset to our firm, a great partner, and friend. We are proud to be associated with him and know he will bring the same professionalism and strategic thinking to 68 Ventures. Wesley is held in high regard by everyone who knows him, and we wish Wesley continued success in his new undertaking.”
Cox said after knowing Britt for more than 25 years, he is confident the senator’s husband will be successful in his new role.
“Wesley and I have been close friends for more than two decades, dating back to our freshman year at the University of Alabama,” Cox added. “Throughout every stage of his career, I have watched him earn the trust and respect of the people around him. He is a person of exceptional integrity, humility, and character who embodies the values of our organization. It has also been a privilege for 68 Ventures to work alongside the Fine Geddie team over the last several years. I know the experience Wesley gained and the relationships he built there will serve him well as he helps us strengthen partnerships, create opportunities, and accelerate our growth throughout the Southeast.”
