I want to thank him for his significant and countless contributions to SEI’s culture and success for almost four decades. Dennis’ years of hard work have created a vibrant team with deep institutional knowledge and set a strong financial and cultural foundation that will be a platform for a seamless transition of his responsibilities.

We will benefit from his legacy for years and years to come.” Denham brings deep experience from advising C-suite executives at Fortune 500 corporations in connection with their most mission critical issues in the areas of accounting, audit, advisory services, risk management, and mergers and acquisitions.
