CrossCountry Consulting, a leading business advisory firm, today announced that Patrick Canning, Vice Chairman at Cresset Capital Management, LLC, has joined the firm’s Board of Advisors. Through this role, Canning will provide strategic guidance to the firm in areas such as market trends, attracting and retaining talent, expanding its presence in key growth markets, and growing its solutions and capabilities.

Canning brings with him more than four decades of industry experience, spending much of his career at KPMG, most recently as Managing Partner of the Chicago Office and Lead Director of the KPMG Board of Directors. His extensive relationships with Chicago-based private equity firms, audit partners, Fortune 1000 companies, and civic and charitable communities will be invaluable to fuel CrossCountry’s continued growth in the greater Chicago market.
