Alexander C. Berney

Alexander “Alex” Berney serves as a managing partner for Savant, where he focuses on firm operations, compliance, and legal strategy from our Oklahoma City office. He plays a central role in helping to align people, platforms, and processes to support Savant’s long-term growth while maintaining a strong, people-first culture. Alex started working at Savant in 2026 when Exencial Wealth Advisors joined the firm.

At Exencial, he held multiple senior leadership roles, including chief operating officer, chief compliance officer, and in-house counsel. In those roles, he worked closely with executive leadership on the decision to join Savant and later led key aspects of people and platform integration across both organizations.

His background blends legal training with hands-on operational leadership. Earlier in his career, he gained experience across legal, operational, and corporate functions through roles with the Kirkpatrick Foundation and Kirkpatrick Bank. At the bank, he held vice president and legal counsel positions and supported complex lending and regulatory matters. That exposure shaped his interest in purpose-driven organizations and continues to influence how he approaches leadership and decision-making.

Alex holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a Juris Doctor (JD) from the University of Oklahoma.

Away from work, Alex enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and cooking at home. He and his wife are raising their young daughter and embracing the pace and priorities of parenthood.
