EY promotes Marcelo Bartholo to US East region vice chair
EY US has promoted Marcelo Bartholo, a more than 20-year veteran of the Big Four firm, to US East region vice chair. The Philadelphia-based leader officially took on the role on April 1, 2022.
Bartholo succeeds Richard Jeanneret, who will retire on July 1 after 39-year career.
In his new role, Bartholo will oversee more than 14,000 professionals across 20 offices, addressing client business issues, talent attraction and retention, and driving growth in the US East region.
“Marcelo will build on the foundation of exceptional client service and innovation to lead the continued expansive growth of the region,” Julie Boland, US chair and managing partner and Americas managing partner-elect, said. “Pulling from his deep experience leading major business transformations across a variety of industries, he will drive our people agenda, cultivate belonging and inclusiveness, and help our clients, teams and communities thrive.”
Bartholo has been at EY since 2001 and has led major client projects across controls, risk transformation, process improvement, IPO readiness, and information technology. He previously served as Americas deputy vice chair of consulting, US East region consulting leader, and Northeast region risk leader.
Bartholo’s other roles include serving as EY Americas consulting D&I executive sponsor and as a member of the EY Americas inclusiveness advisory council and the US East region ethnicity task force.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in finance and international business from Marquette University.
“I am honored to succeed Rich, as the US-East Region continues to be a priority market with immense growth potential,” said Bartholo. “I look forward to working with our diverse teams of professionals to support clients as they navigate our rapidly changing world, while strengthening our EY culture of teaming, collaboration, and inclusion for all.”
EY earlier this year promoted Mitch Berlin to EY Americas strategy and transactions vice chair.
