Whitlow brings with him over 11 years of financial advisory and corporate finance experience, including in-court and out-of-court restructuring, operational turnarounds, balance sheet restructurings, performance improvement, mergers and acquisitions, liquidity management, and financial modeling and forecasting. He joins from FTI Consulting, where he worked in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring practice. Whitlow holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and accounting from Oklahoma State University and an MBA from the Mays School of Business at Texas A&M University.

Stuart Miles joins SCP as a Senior Associate, where he will be responsible for providing financial and operational advisory services to companies in transition.

Miles holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and finance from Texas Christian University.

“We are thrilled to welcome Colby and Stuart to SCP and look forward to seeing the Dallas office thrive with the addition of their talents,” said SCP Founder & CEO Larry Perkins. “We have spent a great deal of time and effort thoughtfully building out our presence in Dallas, Houston and the Southwest in recent years. We have had some great client successes in the region so far and see the need to expand our team to further serve clients. I am confident that under the leadership of Carl Moore, both Colby and Stuart will further the success of our Dallas office in this important market for our firm. I can’t wait to see what they accomplish.”

SCP opened its Dallas office under Managing Director Carl Moore in 2019 and has had a presence in the Southwestern U.S. since 2016. The firm recently expanded its Houston office with the hiring of veteran corporate adviser Taylor Sherman as a Managing Director and is planning ongoing expansion in the region over the coming months.

“Having two talented and capable new team members like Colby and Stuart join me in Dallas is going to give us much more runway for expansion in this market, and I can’t wait to get to work with the new team,” said Moore. “We have worked hard to build SCP’s market share in Dallas and in Texas, and we have plenty of room for growth. We have an opportunity in Dallas and the Southwest to bring SCP’s hands-on counsel for companies in transition to a wider range of clients and carry on the growth of the firm.”
