Let’s Discuss your Business
We were founded with the objective of acquiring and operating one great, small to medium-sized business. We believe small businesses are the backbone of the economy and have an outsized impact on customers, employees, and communities relative to their size. We aim to respect the legacy that’s been built by current ownership while helping the business have an outsized impact as it enters its next chapter.
About Us
Originally from Atlanta, GA, Coty Nash grew up playing football and baseball, experiences that helped foster his competitive nature and grit. He spent summers working in his parents’ construction business and cutting his neighbors’ lawns, which is where he developed his passion for small businesses.
Before launching Nash Family Partners, Coty cut his teeth on the shop floor at ExxonMobil where he was part of the commissioning of a $2B manufacturing plant. He also spent time at Accenture Strategy, where he led project teams and helped C-Suite leaders tackle complex supply chain and operational challenges, including those faced during the Covid-19 global supply shock. These experiences taught Coty how to lead and inspire teams across all levels of organizations.
Coty continued to build out his business acumen at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where he earned his MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship and finance while helping lead the Entrepreneurship through Acquisition student group.
Outside of work, Coty enjoys cooking for his wife (Angela) and daughter, serving in his church community, and camping or hiking with his family. He’s also on a decade-long quest to turn his baseball swing into a golf swing.
The Nash Family Partners name was inspired by the belief that business is not a zero-sum game and treating customers and employees as family leads to positive outcomes for all involved. It is also a nod to the entrepreneurial legacy of both Coty’s and Angela’s families.
Coty holds a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech and an MBA from Chicago Booth.
