EY-Parthenon appoints Todd Burton as Deal Technology partner in Melbourne
EY-Parthenon has appointed Todd Burton as a Partner in its Deal Technology practice.
Based in Melbourne, Todd Burton arrives at EY-Parthenon from KPMG with nearly 20 years of experience. He has led more than 50 technology deals projects, advising private equity, government and corporate clients across Australia and globally. His experience spans IT and AI due diligence, and IT M&A integrations and separations, including complex acquisitions and large scale integration programs.
At EY-Parthenon, Burton is a member of the Deal Technology practice, which provides full-service M&A support to technology groups and tech-investing private equity funds across due diligence, value creation, integration and separation planning and execution support.
The Deal Technology practice comprises over 100 professionals across Australia and New Zealand, with teams based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland.
Shannon Cotter, Oceania Managing Partner at EY-Parthenon, said: “We are pleased to welcome Todd, who is a market leading deal technology specialist with deep experience across IT and AI due diligence and complex integration and separation execution.”
“Todd joins us at a time when technology and AI are increasingly central to value creation and risk management in M&A. He will partner with our broader Strategy & Transaction team across Oceania and collaborate closely with EY-Parthenon’s global transaction services ecosystem to support clients throughout the deal lifecycle.”
The hire of Burton comes shortly after the Deal Technology practice also welcomed Matt Sorokoput to its Melbourne team. “Their arrival strengthens our on the ground team in Melbourne and relationships with corporate and private equity clients in Victoria,” said Cotter.
Globally, EY-Parthenon has a team of over 25,000 consultants. The firm was established in 2014 following EY’s acquisition of The Parthenon Group, a US-based strategy consulting firm. In Australia, EY-Parthenon received a major boost when it acquired Port Jackson Partners around six years ago.
