CHARLOTTE, NC. — New Republic Partners announced today the hire of Billy Owens as senior advisor. Owens will lead the firm’s expansion in the South Carolina market in coordination with existing team members Mark Allan and Lee Tiller. New Republic Partners is a privately held investment management and advisory firm that provides customized portfolios, asset-class-specific fund offerings, and wealth planning from a seasoned wealth advisory and family office services team.
Owens brings more than 40 years of experience to his role and recently retired as a partner from PwC. While at PwC, he held numerous leadership positions, including as chief operating officer for PwC New Ventures, which is a corporate ventures incubator; as well as managing partner for the PwC Carolina’s Tax practice, where he led strategic planning and consulted with SEC-registered clients, closely held businesses and high-net-worth individuals.
“I am excited to lend my decades of experience working with successful families, business owners and institutions to New Republic Partners. I’m looking forward to introducing more families and institutions in South Carolina to the New Republic Partners team and unique approach to building and sustaining multi-generational wealth,” Owens said.
“We are pleased to have Billy join our leadership team. The combination of his exceptional leadership skills, extensive experience in advising multi-generational families on complex tax and governance strategies, and his strong ties to South Carolina make him the ideal person to lead New Republic Partners’ expansion in the South Carolina market,” said New Republic Partners CEO Tom Hoops.

He currently serves on the Clemson University Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business board of directors.
