Promotion Watch ’22: Forvis Admits First Class of New Partners and Principals; All Have Forward Vision

Forvis, the oddly named love child of BKD and DHG that was born on June 1, announced its inaugural class of new partners and principals, as well as new managing directors, last month.

As far as we know, the 21 partners, two principals, and 38 managing directors in this year’s class all have eyes in the front of their heads, which was probably a prerequisite for their promotions given that the name of the firm is short for Forward Vision.” CEO Tom Watson said this about the promotees:

“I extend my sincere congratulations to each of these individuals on this special milestone. These leaders have played a critical role in the success of our legacy firms and now will help us drive our combined forward vision. We are committed to providing a high-touch, personalized approach to client service with deep access to leaders and advisors across our firm. Continually developing our new leaders who are passionate about providing unmatched client experiences is a strategic priority for Forvis.”
