Grant Thornton appointed several new leaders who will help further advance the firm’s business strategy and accelerate its growth for the benefit of clients and team members. The new leaders complement recent additions to the firm’s Senior Leadership Team, announced last November.
The appointments will contribute to Grant Thornton’s ongoing momentum and strong market position heading into its next fiscal year, which starts in August.
“The challenges confronting our clients require us to continuously deliver high-quality, integrated offerings that are personalized to meet their unique needs,” said Seth Siegel, CEO of Grant Thornton. “Our new leaders will do this by bringing us closer to our clients, delivering the right solutions and drawing our highly-skilled professionals together to act as one.”
To help ensure the firm provides clients with industry solutions that are aligned with its geography teams and service lines, Grant Thornton has appointed national managing principal for Industry, Lisa Walkush, to its Senior Leadership Team. Walkush has a deep industry background and was recently honored by Consulting magazine for “Excellence in Leadership.”
In a companion move that will help Grant Thornton better orient its offerings for clients regionally, it has named several partners at the firm to fill leadership roles in a newly-designed regional structure. They include:
- Sean Denham - regional managing partner, Atlantic Coast
- Carlos Ferreira - regional managing partner, Northeast
- Nichole Jordan - regional managing partner, Texoma
- Mark Margulies - regional managing partner, Southeast
- Tony Perazzo - regional managing partner, West
- David Platt - regional managing partner, Central
Nichole Jordan will continue to serve on the firm’s Senior Leadership Team and hold her current role as the national managing partner of Geography.
Additionally, Grant Thornton has named Greg Westfall as its national managing principal for Private Equity succeeding Carlos Ferreira as he moves into his new regional managing partner role for the Northeast (mentioned above). Westfall’s passion for private equity and his proven track record in the space will help clients drive their strategic growth goals and create value throughout the transaction lifecycle.
