OUR PEOPLE

At Villere & Co., we offer the trust and confidentiality of a family organization. Our roots go back to 1911, when St. Denis J. Villere founded the firm. A member of the New Orleans Stock Exchange, the company was a sole proprietorship involved in public underwriting and brokerage of local stocks and bonds.

In 1926, Ernest C. Villere joined his father, becoming a partner in 1928. Following his father's death in 1938, Ernest began to engage increasingly in investment counseling. Ernest's older son St. Denis J. (Sandy) Villere, II joined his father in the firm in 1960, and his younger son George became a member in 1968. Shortly before Ernest's death in 1986, George Villere Young joined his uncles, ushering in the fourth generation of family involvement. St. Denis J. (Sandy) Villere, III joined the firm in 1999, and became a member in 2004.
