Brian Finnan - 2026 IWLA Hall of Fame Inductee

Brian Finnan knows the auto ID business. He’s seen the industry change and grow since the mid-’90s. In 2005, he launched Southeast Solutions, Inc., located in Athens, GA.

As CEO, he oversees a team of highly knowledgeable and skilled technology and operations professionals across many areas of business:

  • Process Improvement & WMS Selection Consulting
  • System Integration
  • Custom Software
  • Mobile Scanning
  • Thermal Printing
  • Network Design & Implementation
  • Service & Repair; and Media

Finnan’s IWLA experience started in 2010. His service on the IWLA Partner Committee led to better opportunities for service and product providers to connect with warehouse leaders. He served as a board director for the IWLA Partners for 5 years.

He also volunteers more broadly in the supply chain. Since the early 2000s, he has been an active member of the Southeast Warehouse Association (SWA). He is an SWA Board member. He has many clients who are members of the IWLA and SWA. Many of these have become great friends over the years.

Finnan and his high-school sweetheart, Ann, have been married since 1984. They have 4 children: daughters Hannah (Myles) Shepley, Alannah (Troy) Anderson, and Grace (Winslow) Carroll; and son Zach (Grace), 29. They have two grandchildren, Ava and Finn.

When he is not fighting with his wife, he loves to spend time with family and friends, play a little golf, and cook meat on his smoker and grills. If you listen closely on a calm day, you may hear Finnan’s infectious laugh all the way from Georgia.
