A Fond Farewell to Wick Ach

This week, Hixson marks the retirement of longtime President & CEO, J. Wickliffe “Wick” Ach. Wick joined Hixson in 1977 and has been leading our firm since 1983. Under Wick’s leadership, the firm has grown to 125 associates, 16 in-house disciplines, instituted our continuous employment policy, solidified our values and vision, and much more.

With Wick’s retirement, Greg Hammond will assume the position of President & CEO. The unanimous selection of Greg to this role by the Hixson Board of Directors was the culmination of many months of succession planning efforts, during which both external and internal candidates were considered. We thank Wick for his 41 years of selfless and tireless efforts, and look forward to many more years of excellence under Greg’s leadership!
