True North’s CEO and Co-founder, Scott Wood, has been recognized by D CEO in their annual publication of the Dallas 500. This special edition profiles the region’s most influential business, civic, and nonprofit leaders each year, and features nearly 200 new names in the 2023 edition.
Being an entrepreneur at his core, Scott endeavored to build something different from day one. With an eye for innovation, he aimed to create an enterprise that went above and beyond traditional wealth management. Over 22 years later, Scott and Co-founder, Mark Gehlbach, still consistently seek unique ways to expand True North’s offering and enhance the client experience.
“Scott has an infectious entrepreneurial spirit and growth mindset,” shares Paula Davis, Managing Director, Dallas. “His passion and desire to innovate are palpable and create a positive and exciting work environment,” Davis continues.
Along with his commitment to the firm, Scott is deeply committed to community service. He sits on many boards and organizations in Dallas, including Chairman of the Momentous Institute Board (Momentous being the sole charitable beneficiary of the Salesmanship Club of Dallas), Treasurer of the Tom Landry FCA Foundation, and Park Cities Baptist Church’s Long-Term Planning Committee.
