Margolin, Winer & Evens LLP Announces Leadership Transition

NEW YORK and GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Margolin, Winer & Evens, a Top 100 accounting and business advisory firm founded in 1946, will start transitioning to its fourth generation of leadership in 2017 with the announcement that longtime Partner Craig Savell will be the next Managing Partner, succeeding Teddy Selinger.

As part of the planned transition, Selinger will take on the role of CEO and Managing Partner in 2017 and Savell will serve as Co-Managing Partner for 2017. In 2018, Savell will assume sole leadership of the firm.

"It has been extremely gratifying to serve as leader of MWE for two decades and to oversee our growth and stability during that time," Selinger said in announcing the transition. "Over the course of the past seven decades, we have weathered many ups and downs in the economy, and become a trusted resource to the region's titans of business and real estate by doing the right thing and harnessing top talent in developing specialty areas for our firm. Over time, we have grown into one of the nation's leading accounting and business advisory firms thanks to our progressive founders and successive leaders. I am confident that Craig will carry on that tradition and lead the firm to even greater success in the future."

Savell, 53, an accounting and auditing partner, is a longtime member of the Firm's Executive Board, Chairman of the Manufacturing and Distribution Group, and has been a partner at MWE since 1996.

"I am looking forward to stepping into my new role and am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for the firm in the coming years," Savell said. "It is a tremendous honor and responsibility to take on this challenge, and in the coming months, I will look to Teddy for his advice and counsel to ensure the transition is seamless for our clients and our staff."
