Cole Gilliam Parks
President, Board of Directors
Cole Gilliam founded Southwestern Asset Management so he could dedicate himself – and build an equally dedicated team – to simplifying the capital markets and financial services for the retail consumer. He is passionate about growth, creative problem solving and consistently delivering simplicity to every individual or organization that he engages.
Along with his fifteen years of financial services experience, Mr. Parks also brings many years of consulting, entrepreneurship, management and leadership experience to our team from his professional accomplishments outside the financial services industry and a diverse resume of local, regional, state and federal service and advocacy positions.
Outside Southwestern, Mr. Parks enjoys investing his time with his wife, Kaylee, and their two children, Holtin (10) and Heidee (9). He also enjoys cooking for family and friends and is an avid sportsman, competitive shooter, water/outdoor enthusiast and reader.
