Promotion Watch ’20: Crowe Names 104 New Partners and Principals

Whoa, wasn’t expecting this large a class of new Crowe partners and principals who finally get to sit at the adults’ table beginning on April 1, 2021. But I guess the firm is trying to impress the folks at Fortune by making a slew of promotions so it can stay in the 100 Best Companies to Work For rankings for 2021, even though Crowe laid off hundreds of people in April.
