Koltin Consulting Group (KCG), a US-based accounting and financial services consultancy, has named Lisa Benson as its chief growth officer (CGO), a newly created position.

The company said the establishment of the CGO role is intended to accelerate its growth path and widen its advisory footprint.

Prior to joining, Benson held senior roles across international accounting networks, professional alliances and advisory businesses.

Her background spans growth strategy, relationship management and platform development, with a track record of linking company leaders, investors and advisers around shared expansion goals.

In the CGO role, she will be responsible for shaping and leading KCG’s enterprise-wide growth strategy.

Her mandate covers broadening strategic alliances, strengthening engagement with clients and partners, and supporting the next stage of development of the company’s advisory platform.

She will work alongside its leadership, clients and strategic partners to identify fresh avenues for expansion and to advance sustainable growth.

Koltin Consulting Group CEO Allan Koltin said: “Lisa brings a rare combination of strategic vision, deep industry experience, and trusted relationships across the accounting and financial services profession.

“As our firm continues to grow and the profession evolves – particularly with the influence of private equity and new ownership and governance models – this role was a natural next step for KCG. Lisa is the ideal leader to help shape and drive our next phase of growth.”

Benson added: “The creation of the chief growth officer role reflects KCG’s commitment to being proactive, intentional and forward-looking in how we serve the profession.

“Koltin Consulting has an extraordinary reputation for insight, integrity and impact.

“I am excited to help build on that foundation with a laser focus on growth – supporting firm leaders and partners as they navigate change and pursue meaningful, long-term success.”
