Ernst & Young expands government, public sector practice leadership team

Ernst & Young hires a longtime state government official to the leadership team of the firm’s public sector practice.

Ernst & Young has hired longtime Georgia state government official Frank Berry as an executive director for the firm’s government and public sector practice.

Berry will lead the markets and business development function amid efforts to shape new service offerings and develop thought leadership centered around health and human services, EY said Tuesday.

Most recently, Berry was commissioner for Georgia’s community health department. He also administered that agency’s health care facility regulation division, office of health planning, rural health division and health IT division.

Prior to DCH, Berry’s career in the state government included commissioner of the state’s department of behavioral health and developmental disabilities.
