Butera noted: “I am excited to continue to support the network, in a full-time capacity, as General Counsel. This role allows me to work closely with leadership, setting strategy to minimise risk and enable growth opportunities on a global basis."

Crowe Global, comprising more than 200 independent accounting and advisory firms, operates in more than 150 countries. The firm generated global revenues of $5.8bn in 2024.
