Greg Lowe to join McKonly & Asbury as Chief Operating Officer

Camp Hill - McKonly & Asbury, LLP announces the appointment of Greg Lowe as Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Lowe will join the firm as COO on September 1st . Most recently, Mr. Lowe has served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Technisource, formerly IntelliMark – a company with over 250 professional staff in the Central Pennsylvania region. He stepped down from his role at Technisource July 3rd.

Greg joined IntelliMark in 1998 with the acquisition of KnowledgeSoft as Vice President and General Manager of the Eastern Region where he led significant sales growth and managed operations. He was appointed Vice President of National Services Delivery in 2004 and promoted to President and COO in 2005. Prior to joining IntelliMark, Greg held several leadership positions in sales and service with companies in the information technology and packaged foods industries. Greg is a past recipient of the Central Pennsylvania Business Journal's Top Forty under 40. Greg holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Towson State University .

“We are thrilled to have Greg joining our firm. As we continue to grow, we have made a commitment to building the infrastructure to allow our professional staff to do what they do best. That means having a senior management team to run our business effectively. Greg will oversee those functions for us so that our accountants and consultants, from partner down to staff level, can focus on serving our clients,” said Terry Harris, Managing Partner of McKonly & Asbury. “Hiring a COO has been part of our strategic plan for some time, and we had a specific set of experience, strengths, and skills in mind. Greg Lowe was the model candidate to fill this role for us, and we are very excited that he will define this new and important role in our firm.”

“Joining McKonly & Asbury is exactly the kind of opportunity I was looking for when I left my former position. I wanted to continue my focus on helping to lead a progressive and dynamic organization, while still being able to stay close to home with my family. A firm that has doubled in size in the last three years, and has plans to do so again, while at the same time focusing on providing balance for its employees and being a Best Place to Work in PA is exactly where I want to be. I have known and worked with McKonly & Asbury from my first years in Central PA. I am looking forward to joining a team that I have admired for so long,” said Lowe. “In the short term, I am planning to enjoy a summer off with my wife and four boys, and preparing to hit the ground running with M&A in September. There are great things happening at M&A and I am excited to become part of the team.”

As McKonly & Asbury continues to grow and experience success, the firm plans to invest in the areas that have spurred our recent growth – service to growing, dynamic family owned businesses, Middle-Market, and Publicly-Traded companies, IT Audit services, Sarbanes-Oxley consulting, SAS 70 Audits, Audit, and Tax services. We will also continue our focus on industries that are integral to our practice, such as: Real Estate & Affordable Housing, Manufacturing, Construction, and large Not-for-Profits.
