RIA Mercer Global Advisors has appointed Gün Keresteci as its chief financial officer. Earlier, Keresteci was consultancy McKinsey & Co.'s global head of finance.
He takes over as CFO from Michael Henry — now a full-time member of the RIA's M&A team, which completed more than 12 acquisitions last year and added five executives last week: Andy Burgess, Greg Mayes, Jay Robertson, Stacey Orff and Jeff Dadamo, who moved from Fidelity, LPL Financial, Charles Schwab, DeVoe & Company and Dimensional Fund Advisors, respectively.
"Hiring a person of Gün's caliber, a leader with vast multi-disciplinary experience, reinforces our commitment to building the preeminent fiduciary financial advisory firm," said CEO Dave Welling. "His recent experience as the finance leader of McKinsey … brings valuable thought-leadership and operational excellence to our firm."
Keresteci spent over 20 years at McKinsey. He also has worked for a decade in private equity, investment management and banking, including stints at AllianceBernstein, Lightyear Capital and Turk Merchant Bank.
