Tom Comfort joins Liberty Advisor Group as partner

Tom Comfort has joined Liberty Advisor Group, a Chicago-based management consulting firm, as a partner and leader of the manufacturing and supply chain practice.

Comfort, who has four decades of experience in management consulting and financial services, steps into the expanded role after spending the last year-and-a-half as a senior advisor at Liberty.

He previously spent 17 years at Deloitte, retiring as a senior managing director in 2020. Comfort led one of the firm’s largest office of the chairman accounts and supported industrial sector clients in operational excellence, supply chain, and corporate development engagements.

Before Deloitte, Comfort spent more than 20 years in wholesale banking, serving as senior vice president at ABN AMRO, Bank of America, and Standard Chartered Bank.

"We are thrilled to have Tom join our team as we continue to build and grow our business," said Chad Smith, CEO of Liberty Advisor Group. "Tom's industry expertise and consulting leadership experience will be especially valuable for our manufacturing and supply chain clients who are faced with unprecedented disruption."

Founded in 2008, Liberty’s team of experienced consultants have delivered over $1 billion in operating income improvement and thousands of M&A deals. The firm provides consulting in business and technology strategy, transformation and assurance, data analytics, business threat intelligence, and M&A.

Liberty has 50 employees listed on LinkedIn.

“I'm very proud to be a part of the Liberty team,” Comfort said in a LinkedIn post. “It's a pleasure to work with such a strong, experienced group that puts our clients’ needs above all else with a singular focus on delivering results that truly matter.”
