About

As a nearly 30-year PwC veteran, I previously served as Vice Chair of US Markets, overseeing the strategy and execution of the commercial, people, community and quality efforts across 90+ offices. Having served as a lead client partner for some of the firm’s largest clients, I advised companies through significant global change—including transformations, public offerings, acquisitions and divestitures—driving trust within the capital markets. In addition, I served as the business sponsor and co-leader of My+, the firm’s people strategy that empowers our 75,000 people to develop and grow their careers, including upskilling the entire workforce on AI. I was also the Banking & Capital Markets Leader; Managing Partner for the New York Metro region, PwC’s largest office and geography; and Financial Services Assurance Leader in the Carolinas. With proven expertise, bold insights and tech that moves business forward, we help you drive your company to the leading edge. PwC provides professional services across Audit and Assurance, Advisory and Tax. We bring a range of capabilities so you can solve faster, solve more and realize more value. These capabilities include cloud and digital, deals, sustainability, cybersecurity and privacy, governance/boards, risk, transformation and much more. Across our global network of nearly 328,000 professionals in 152 countries, we are committed to advancing quality in everything we do. I’m a certified public accountant in both New York and North Carolina and hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accountancy from Wake Forest University. I sit on the Governing Board and Financial Oversight Committee of the Center for Audit Quality and am a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the New York Jobs CEO Council. Based in New York, I’m a proud husband and dedicated father. Outside of work, I’m an outdoor enthusiast, travel aficionado and avid reader. If you want to chat, feel free to reach out.
