BDO USA, a leading accounting and advisory firm, has announced the election of Natalie Kotlyar as the new chair of its board of directors, effective July 1, 2024. Kotlyar, who has been with BDO for over 25 years, succeeds Kelly Johnson, the firm's first female board chair who served since 2019.

Kotlyar has been a member of the board since November 2020 and was re-elected to a new term this year. Throughout her tenure at BDO, she has held various leadership positions, most recently leading the firm's industry group program and managing relationships with priority clients. Additionally, she serves as BDO's country coordinator for Israel and Eastern Europe.

In addition to Kotlyar's appointment, BDO has made several other changes to its board:

  • Kirstie Tiernan has been elected as a new board member. Tiernan has been instrumental in developing BDO's data and artificial intelligence (AI) practice and leads client-facing AI initiatives. She serves as the national go-to-market leader in BDO Digital and leads the labs practice.
  • John Marquardt has been re-elected to a second term on the board.
  • Tony Argiz's term has been extended through the remainder of the term of Mark Ellenbogen's vacated board seat. Ellenbogen will step down from the board to assume the role of Chief Operating Officer.

These leadership changes reflect BDO's commitment to sustainable growth and its focus on enhancing client service through strategic leadership appointments. CEO Wayne Berson expressed his confidence in Kotlyar's leadership, stating that her extensive experience and dedication make her an invaluable choice for leading BDO into its next chapter.
