Grant Thornton Advisors LLC has appointed Elliot Findlay as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Member of the Executive Committee. The position was previously held by Jim Peko, who stepped into the CEO role. Findlay has been with the firm for over two decades, most recently serving as the National Managing Principal of Transaction Advisory Services.
Findlay assumes the COO role during a period of significant expansion for the firm. Earlier this year, Grant Thornton created a multinational platform in collaboration with Grant Thornton Ireland, later adding firms in the UAE, Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, and the Netherlands. This expansion enhances the firm's ability to provide cross-border services. “Elliot’s deep expertise, global perspective, and unwavering leadership make him the ideal choice to be our chief operating officer,” said CEO Jim Peko. In response, Findlay stated, “I am honored to be named as Grant Thornton’s COO. I look forward to working alongside our many talented teams to fuel our momentum.”
