He has also shared his knowledge as a speaker on ABL diligence and cross-border collateral issues for prominent industry organizations.
“Larry will play a key role in advancing our capabilities in conducting larger and more complex field examinations, with a particular focus on syndicated, cross-border and private equity-backed engagements. His leadership will be instrumental as we continue to serve our clients with our seamless approach providing appraisals and examinations with the highest level of diligence, insight and risk management,” Thomas Scotti, managing director of GA Group, who has been leading GA’s field exam group, said. “Larry’s addition reflects our continued commitment to excellence and growth in this evolving space.”
