Robbins Huddleston to co-lead CohnReznick’s Manufacturing & Distribution practice

New York, NY – December 2, 2022 – CohnReznick LLP, one of the leading advisory, assurance, and tax firms in the United States, today announced that Helana Robbins Huddleston is joining Henrietta Fuchs as co-leader of the firm’s Manufacturing & Distribution practice. Together, they will help to drive practice growth and address the expanding needs of clients.

Robbins Huddleston has over 22 years of experience in financial due diligence, restructuring, cash flow budgeting, financial auditing, internal control evaluation, and business process improvement, with deep expertise in the M&D industry. “I am honored to co-lead CohnReznick’s M&D practice with Henrietta, bringing my transaction advisory experience to help our clients navigate opportunities to increase their enterprise value,” said Robbins Huddleston.

Fuchs has helped lead the M&D practice for four years, providing strong guidance to both clients and employees through the industry’s pandemic and post-pandemic issues. She delivers a wide variety of accounting and audit advisory services to publicly traded and privately-held companies. Fuchs said, “I am thrilled that Helana will be joining me in this important leadership role. Though we are past the peak of the pandemic, the complexities facing companies in the areas of labor constraints, increasing costs, and supply chain management are still of the utmost concern to our M&D clients. In addition, the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is top of mind for certain manufacturers. I look forward to working alongside Helana to continue to deliver innovative solutions to our clients that will help drive revenue growth and cost savings.”

“With the importance of Capital Markets as one of our strategic pillars, it is fitting for Helana, who has served as the transaction advisory leader to our M&D practice, to join Henrietta as co-leader of M&D,” said Cindy McLoughlin, Managing Partner, Consumer, Hospitality, and Manufacturing Practice, CohnReznick. “Henrietta and Helana will collaborate on overall strategy and growth for the group and will advance the scope of the practice overall. It is especially gratifying to see two outstanding women at the helm of this practice – they are not only successful advisors to our clients, but serve as role models in the M&D industry, which has historically been underrepresented by women leaders. Adds CohnReznick Chief Strategy and Growth Officer Gary Levy, “Henrietta and Helana are exceptional leaders both within CohnReznick and in the community at large. Their new roles as co-leaders of our M&D practice speaks to their talent, commitment to providing best-in-class client service, and robust vision for the practice’s growth.”
