“Ernie is a tremendous asset,” said Andrei Perumal, co-founder and managing partner of WP&C. “He is a great talent and has a huge bandwidth. In the Principal role, Ernie will be able to have even greater impact, across a greater number of clients, and a larger role in team and firm development.”

“I am grateful for the many opportunities I have to serve our clients,” said Spence. “It is truly a privilege to lead our incredibly talented consultants.”
