NEW YORK CITY-Ernst & Young LLP is promoting several executives from within its Construction and Real Estate Advisory Services practice, appointing E&Y veterans Mark Gibson and Josh Herrenkohl to key leadership Los Angeles and New York, GlobeSt.com has learned. Gibson will manage the practice in the Western US, and Herrenkohl will head up E&Y’s CREAS operations for the East Coast from Manhattan.

The partners will succeed Mark Costello, who recently assumed the role of global leader of E&Y’s Real Estate Advisory Services, as reported by GlobeSt.com last month.

In his new role, Herrenkohl—who has more than 16 years of experience in the commercial real estate and technology consulting sectors—will continue to help real estate and construction clients assess and implement leading practice processes, reporting structures, controls and technologies. He has previously worked with Capgemini and the Government of Japan before rejoining E&Y in 2004. During his time back at E&Y, Herrenkohl has risen quickly through the ranks; he was promoted last year to assume responsibility for the group’s real estate investor services team.
