NEW YORK, July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young
LLP has appointed Richard M.
Jeanneret to Vice Chair- Northeast Region Managing Partner.
Formerly the Americas Vice Chair of Transaction Advisory Services
(TAS), Jeanneret will be succeeded by William (Bill) Casey.
"For the last seven years, Rich has led the transformation of
TAS around the C-suite's Capital Agenda and his efforts have been
instrumental in driving our market-leading results. In his new
role, Rich's inclusive leadership and connectivity across our
businesses and regions will enable us to harness our power to
deliver exceptional client service across channels and sectors,"
said Steve Howe, US Chairman and EY
Americas Managing Partner. "At a time of tremendous growth for
TAS, fueled by a record-breaking M&A environment and
transformational acquisitions that have enhanced EY's service
offerings, Bill is uniquely positioned to lead our continued
success. His global experience, client service acumen and breadth
of knowledge will be critical as we continue to drive growth for
our clients as well as in our own practice."
As Vice Chair- Northeast Region Managing Partner, Jeanneret will
lead more than 8,000 professionals across all EY's business lines
in Assurance, Tax, Advisory and Transaction services in 16 offices,
extending from Boston to
Richmond. Based in New York, he will continue to serve as a
member of the EY Americas Operating Executive and Ernst & Young
LLP's Executive Board.
Jeanneret has more than 30 years of experience with both private
and public companies, advising on mergers and acquisitions for
corporations and financial buyers, public company spinoffs, initial
public offerings and securities offerings. During his tenure as EY
Americas Vice Chair of TAS, Jeanneret led through a period of
sustained growth and diversification, including the acquisition of
The Parthenon Group by the US firm which significantly enhanced
TAS's front-end strategic offerings. Previously, he was
mid-Atlantic managing partner of Ernst & Young LLP's Assurance
and Advisory Business Services.
"The Northeast is the firm's largest market and a critical
source of growth and opportunity," said Jeanneret. "As companies in
this region look to EY for sophisticated guidance in a rapidly
changing economic environment, I look forward to collaborating with
our diverse teams of professionals as they work with organizations
to address their most pressing business issues, capitalize on
opportunities, and further contribute to the momentum of the
region's growth and vitality."
Based in New York City, Casey
will lead a team of more than 3,600 EY professionals in
the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Israel. He will be responsible for the
delivery of high-quality transaction advisory services as
organizations seek to achieve their strategic transactions and
capital management goals.
Casey brings more than 30 years of consulting and client service
experience to his new role. Most recently, since 2013, he has
served as Americas Deputy Leader of TAS. Prior to that, he served
as TAS Chief Operating Officer for Ernst & Young LLP. During
his tenure in these two operational leadership roles, the US
practice roughly doubled in size, both in terms of talent and
revenue.
"Helping organizations with strategies to raise, invest,
optimize and preserve capital has always been a cornerstone of
TAS," said Casey. "In an environment of increased volatility and
tempered macro growth, I am delighted to have the opportunity to
assist companies with their capital strategies to more efficiently
allocate resources and drive results. This is especially vital
during a time of challenges and opportunities presented by
globalization and technological disruption, and it is very much in
line with EY's purpose of building a better world."
Casey has led some of the US firm's largest client engagements,
including numerous integrated cross-border transactions. Casey
spent more than a decade on engagements in Latin America in the São Paulo office of the
EY member firm in Brazil. His
sector experience spans the fintech, beverage, automotive,
telecommunications and professional services industries, among
others.
Jeanneret received his B.A. in Economics from Boston College and is a member of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He is also a member of
the National Board of Directors of The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society, as well as a member of the Economic Clubs of New York and Washington. Jeanneret serves on the Board of
the Wolf Trap Foundation and has been active with a number of
charitable and civic organizations over the course of his
career.
Casey received his bachelor's degree in accountancy from the
University of Illinois and a master's
degree of business administration from DePaul
University. He is a Certified Public Accountant in
Florida and Colorado and is fluent in Portuguese and
Spanish.
