Gay brings 18 years of experience to clients across the Midwest, principally within the consumer and industrial products sectors. He has experience serving some of Wisconsin’s largest global organizations, both publicly traded and privately held, as well as providing technical guidance on numerous strategic transactions. In addition to his new leadership role, he will continue to serve as lead partner for several large clients of the Milwaukee practice.

“I am confident David will be the next successful leader of our Milwaukee practice,” said Rick Fezell, vice chair and Midwest managing partner of Ernst & Young LLP. “His commitment to quality service, combined with his inclusive leadership and commitment to the Milwaukee community, makes him an ideal fit to lead the practice that Keith has built during the last 10 years.”
