CrossCountry Consulting hires Jerry Lombardo as chief financial officer

CrossCountry Consulting, a McLean, VA-headquartered management consultancy, has hired Jerry Lombardo as chief financial officer.

Lombardo succeeds Steve Boyce, who is departing the firm after nearly three years as CFO.

Lombardo is based in CrossCountry’s headquarters and brings more than 30 years of experience as a strategic and finance leader. In his new role, he will lead CrossCountry’s finance function and enhance the firm’s operations and growth.

“Jerry is a seasoned leader whose innovative approach and vast expertise align perfectly with the evolving needs of CrossCountry,” said Erik Linn, co-founder and managing partner of CrossCountry Consulting. “His strategic acumen and commitment to building strong, high-performing teams will be instrumental in our efforts to deliver exceptional value to our clients and further scale our business.”

Lombardo has extensive experience leading organizations through significant growth, operational restructuring, and financial innovation.

He more recently spent five years as chief financial officer at PR firm Burson, where he oversaw the integration of two major agencies.

Before that, he was chief financial officer at mortgage loan originator and servicer Ditech, treasurer of the Consumer & Community Bank (CCB) at JPMorgan Chase, and global head of funding and liquidity at Ally Financial.

Earlier in his career, Lombardo was a senior managing director at FTI Consulting, a financial consultant at Kroll, and a senior accountant at Deloitte.

He has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance from Pace University and is a certified public accountant.

“I am honored to join CrossCountry at such an exciting time in its growth trajectory,” said Lombardo. “I look forward to contributing to its success by using my expertise to strengthen its financial platform, foster collaborative teamwork, and continue the tradition of providing exceptional service to our clients.”

CrossCountry was founded in 2011 and has over 1,200 global employees, according to LinkedIn. The firm provides corporate and private equity clients with services in accounting advisory, business transformation, corporate transactions, risk and compliance, technology, cybersecurity, and data and analytics.

CrossCountry recently welcomed Bill Maloney as Texas market leader and Dallas office managing partner.
