There's a new lead number cruncher at the local office of New York-based PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Jeff Fusile, 40, arrived at the Big Four accounting firm in 1998 and succeeds John Quinn as managing partner of the Indianapolis location.
Quinn's seven-year tenure at the top ends for two reasons. At 58, he's two years shy of the firm's mandatory retirement age for partners, and he's accepted a new audit position requiring him to travel to the East Coast headquarters every other week.
His time remaining in Indianapolis largely will be spent mentoring Fusile, who came to the city last year from Atlanta, where he led the firm's health insurance practice.
When Indianapolis-based Anthem Inc. acquired Californiabased WellPoint Health Networks for $16.4 billion in 2004, creating the nation's largest health insurer, Fusile moved here to supervise the account.
"I'm very committed to helping Jeff make a successful transition," Quinn said. "He's only been here a short period of time but has garnered the support of the staff and partners as well. I have seen him working with the executives at WellPoint and they're very, very pleased WellPoint confirmed Quinn's findings.
"His reputation in the health care industry is well-known, and he's been a very good resource and valued consultant for WellPoint," company spokesman Jim Kappel said. "We believe he's going to be an excellent managing partner for PricewaterhouseCoopers."
Fusile grew up in the Washington, D.C., area and earned degrees in both finance and accounting from Florida State University....
