Former House Speaker Will Weatherford is beginning the next chapter of his professional career — one that will allow him the opportunity to recharge his batteries for, well … whatever he wants to do next in the political sphere.
Weatherford, along with his brothers Drew and Sam, are launching Weatherford Partners, a strategic business advisory and investment firm.
According to a release, the firm will provide clients with a broad range of business expertise and will invest capital directly into private companies with a strategic focus on Florida.
Weatherford is widely speculated to be a leading candidate in 2018 for any number of political offices, including governor and U.S. Senate. Weatherford left office as one of the most accomplished legislative leaders of the Republican era — and is only 35 years old.
His challenge is how does he maintain his profile now that he’s out of politics. For now though, Weatherford is focused on succeeding in the private sector. (No doubt, Weatherford’s amazing wife and partner, Courtney, won’t mind having him around the house more often.)
“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with my brothers, Sam and Drew, to launch this exciting business,” said Weatherford. “We share the same values, goals, and faith. It’s a natural fit, and one I know will be a successful and lasting partnership.”
The firm’s partners will draw from their broad experience and deep roots in Florida to deliver exceptional insights to their clients in Florida and abroad. Additionally, the firm will invest capital into promising businesses, helping those companies grow and achieve their full potential.
