Virtas Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Brian Ottaviano as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Virtas Partners is a boutique consulting firm helping clients successfully navigate key transitions, including acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, IPOs, accounting investigations and restatements, restructurings, and capital placements.
Ottaviano is a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in the consulting industry. He joined Virtas Partners as a Director in 2018 and has since played a critical role in driving the growth of the firm, specifically in CFO Advisory Services.
“This will be an exciting and challenging new adventure,” said Ottaviano. “I am looking forward to applying my problem-solving skills to our internal needs and positioning us for the future.“
As COO, Ottaviano‘s primary focus will be to take the firm’s operations to the next level as it executes an aggressive growth strategy over the next three years. He will oversee the development and execution of the firm’s operational and strategic initiatives, with a particular focus on scalability.
“Hiring a COO was a strategic priority for the firm as we entered into 2023. After a formal search evaluating external candidates, I realized that the best person for the role was someone who had been already working for me for five years,” said Neal McNamara, CEO of Virtas Partners. “This has been further validated by every one of the clients he has served that I have spoken to about this confirming he was a great person for the role.”
Ottaviano will still maintain select and strategic client relationships in this new role. This internal promotion further validates the growth of the firm and its dedication to growing its people.
