Stein commented: “When Eric and I founded Cresset, our goal was to build a firm designed to serve families with care, alignment, and integrity for generations.
“Susie embodies those principles and leads with clarity, sound judgment, and deep respect for the trust families place in our firm. Formalising her role as CEO reflects the leadership she has already been demonstrating and positions Cresset well for the future.”
Cranston’s previous roles include senior positions at First Republic Bank and J.P. Morgan Chase. She also had a stint at McKinsey & Company.
Cranston said: “Cresset is a remarkable firm, entrepreneurial at its core and grounded in stewardship.
“I feel deeply grateful for the trust placed in me and for the opportunity to continue working alongside Avy, Eric, and our extraordinary team as we serve clients and build a firm designed to endure for generations.”
