AlixPartners, a global management consulting firm, has promoted Dan Ritter to chief financial officer.

Based in Southfield, MI, Ritter will lead AlixPartners’ finance function globally and will join the firm’s senior management team.

Ritter brings more than 25 years of financial management and accounting experience to the role. He has been at AlixPartners for nearly 20 years, most recently spending half a year as head of firmwide planning and investments. Prior to that he spent eight years as head of strategic finance, procurement, and global services.

“I am delighted that Dan is stepping up to take the role of CFO at AlixPartners. His deep understanding of our business and our clients, and his technical expertise will add significant value to our firm and the work we do for our clients,” said Simon Freakley, CEO of AlixPartners.
