F2 Strategy Names Ex-Orion Exec as CEO

"I saw firsthand the value F2 brought as a partner, delivering innovative solutions and real-world insights,” Beach said. “I’m excited to join co-founders Doug and Liz Fritz and their team in continuing to drive growth and helping clients bridge the gap between expectations and capabilities in meaningful and impactful ways.”

The recruitment of Beach represents the latest in a series of personnel additions that include Laura Korbel as president and Jay Halbert as chief financial officer. It also comes some 18 months after Renovus Capital Partners made a majority investment in the firm, helping it to establish a new headquarters office in Chicago last year.

Lee Minkoff, managing director at Renovus, said that the firm has full confidence in Beach’s leadership as CEO.

“Ryan is the right leader to guide the company through its next phase of growth,” Minkoff said. “His experience at a large organization like Orion equips him to strengthen operations and build on the strong foundation that Doug and Liz have created.”
