Willamette Management Associates was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1969. Over the years, the firm grew in both size and reputation. In 1985 the firm opened an office in suburban Washington, DC. In 1991, Robert F. Reilly and Robert P. Schweihs became the equity partners and managing directors of our firm. The headquarters were then transferred to Chicago. To better serve our clients, the firm opened an office in Atlanta in 1995. A few years later, in 2000, we opened our New York office. In 2003, a Westport, Connecticut, office was opened. From these six offices, we serve clients nationwide and across the globe.
