First Foundation has its roots in wealth management
Like the financial institution of which he is chief executive officer, Scott F. Kavanaugh is constantly on the move. His Irvine-based First Foundation Inc., which has had a San Diego office on Executive Drive since 2011, has expanded from Southern California (seven branches) east into Las Vegas and west to Hawaii. Meanwhile, Kavanaugh says “My absolute favorite thing to do is to get in the car or get on a plane and go see and work with our bankers and investment management teams to meet with clients. So I probably travel more than the typical CEO.”
