Susan Gallagher Joins True Partners Consulting as Chief Operating Officer

CHICAGO, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- True Partners Consulting LLC today announced that Susan Gallagher, 51, has joined the firm as chief operating officer.

True Partners recruited Gallagher for this position as part of its broader efforts to double its business organically over the next four years, according to the firm's chief executive officer, Cary McMillan.

"Susan fits very well into our unique culture at True Partners, which is built around having senior-level counselors work closely with our clients on complex tax advisory engagements," said McMillan. "Susan has the enthusiasm and leadership skills to help us continue to attract and grow the best professionals and keep our teams working together to solve complex client problems for years to come."

Before joining True Partners Consulting, Gallagher worked at Huron Consulting Group, where she was one of the 25 founding managing directors of the company. She was responsible for driving growth nationally in the legal business and played a key role in developing the strategies to initiate and sustain relationships with clients and legal counsel.

Gallagher also served as the head of client relationship development for Arthur Andersen's Chicago office, where she restructured the marketing function to align it with the various business units.
