Leadership Team

Alan Pickett

Alan Pickett joined Catholic Charities in September 2014 as our ninth Executive Director after 36 years in professional service as a practicing CPA, and in various administrative and leadership roles in several professional service firms. Most recently, Alan was the Executive Director at Taft Stettinius & Hollister, a large regional law firm based in Cincinnati. During Alan’s professional career he completed a Master of Arts Program in Lay Pastoral Ministry from the Athenaeum of Ohio in 2010. In addition, Alan has spent much of his adult life preparing to give back to the community by actively participating in numerous ministries at his parish and volunteering in a variety of programs in the community including the Diocese of Covington Pro Life Commission, Tender Mercies and Exodus Jail Listening Ministry of Northern Kentucky.
