Growth is a comprehensive and balanced effort that includes developing their processes, people, and positioning in the market.

He also helps firms who need a transition strategy identify a practice to merge or sell into. In the CGO role, Mr. Lewis takes control of the firm’s growth and will work in collaboration with in-house marketing or assume the marketing responsibilities as well. The role of the CGO is expansion, development of an advisory and sales culture, and shaping the firm’s future.
