Weltman Announces New Management Committee Member & Re-Election of Managing Partner
The management committee serves as Weltman’s senior leadership team, guiding the firm’s strategic direction and succession planning to ensure long-term success. The committee, working in tandem with the firm’s shareholders, oversees firm operations while supporting the needs of clients and associates.
David Head’s election to the committee reflects his extensive leadership experience and dedication to the firm. Since 2021, David serves as the chair of Weltman’s Consumer Collections Practice Group, where he mentors attorneys and support staff while steering the business unit toward operational excellence. Additionally, David leads the Education Loan Recovery and Litigation Group, delivering comprehensive national recovery solutions for lenders, servicers, and guarantors of education-related debt.
“I am honored and excited to join Weltman’s management committee,” says David Head. “This opportunity represents a chance to build on the strong foundation already established by our leadership team. I look forward to working collaboratively with my colleagues to drive innovation, foster growth, and uphold the firm’s tradition of delivering exceptional service to our clients.”
David succeeds Scott Weltman, a long-standing management committee member and firm shareholder since 1996. Scott’s contributions include nine years as Weltman’s managing partner, during which he played a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s succession plans and mentoring future leaders.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve on Weltman’s management committee and contribute to the firm’s growth and success over the years,” says Scott Weltman. “As I step down, I am confident that David’s leadership, vision, and commitment to excellence will continue to drive the firm forward.”
Chuck Pona’s re-election as managing partner underscores his continued leadership and vision for the firm. During his first term, Chuck spearheaded initiatives to enhance client service delivery and operational efficiency, positioning Weltman as a leader in the creditor rights industry.
“We are excited to welcome David to the management committee,” says Chuck. “David’s deep expertise and innovative perspective, coupled with his strong leadership, will play a key role in shaping our firm’s future success. I am also honored to continue leading the firm for another four years as we pursue strategic growth, explore new opportunities, and maintain our unwavering commitment to excellence.”
