When it comes to politics, Sexton is probably the most significant private businessman in north Alabama. Before names ever even appear on a ballot in that part of the state, you can bet Sexton has scouted out the best up and coming talent and recruited them to run. His office overlooking the Tennessee River is on the list of stops that any statewide candidate absolutely has to make.

His company’s interests include financial services, private equity, software and real estate, and his success has allowed him to become one of the most generous philanthropists in the state. He also serves on the University of Alabama Board of Trustees, where he has been a part of leadership team that brought Nick Saban to UA and implemented an ambitious growth strategy.

He’s already peers with power players a full generation ahead of him, and his influence will only increase in the years to come.
