About Carter T. Whitelow

I\'m Carter T. Whitelow, a proud son of the Commonwealth with nearly 400 years of family history rooted in Virginia. From Richmond to the unrivaled beauty of the Shenandoah Valley, this state isn\'t just where I live—it\'s who I am.With a Finance degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MBA from the University of Virginia\'s Darden School of Business, I\'ve cultivated a diverse career that spans from waiting tables to leading government relations initiatives. Each role has honed my ability to connect, collaborate, and drive meaningful change.Currently serving as Vice President of Willcox Savage Consulting, I work to bridge the gap between policy and people, ensuring that economic development translates into tangible opportunities for all Virginians. My approach is rooted in the belief that a rising tide lifts all boats, and I strive to build coalitions that reflect the rich tapestry of our Commonwealth.Beyond the boardroom, I’m a champion for transparency and civic engagement, serving on the board of the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP). I’m also the host of the Green Tees Podcast, where I blend my love for golf with honest, human conversations about leadership, legacy, and life in Virginia.Whether it’s on the course or at the Capitol, I believe relationships drive results—and I’ve never met a stranger. My work is grounded in the power of connection, the value of community, and a relentless drive to move Virginia forward—one hug, one conversation, and one round at a time.
