"Aligning financial strategy with long-term business goals is crucial," said Cole. "What drew me to ELB was its vision for driving and supporting human capital transformation and a leadership team committed to driving real business impact. I'm looking forward to helping strengthen the financial infrastructure that will support ELB's next phase of growth."

Joining Cole are Marko Horvat, who will lead a new solutions practice focused on supporting senior finance leaders as SVP Business Transformation, and Christine Hass, who will head ELB's leadership solutions as VP of Leadership Strategy.

With capabilities in AI adoption, performance measurement, enablement, and strategic roadmapping, ELB collaborates with organizations to design and execute workforce solutions that align with business priorities and deliver measurable ROI. To support this next chapter, ELB also recently launched a redesigned website that reflects its expanded offerings and consultative approach.
