Prior to joining A&M, Ms. Peabody spent 15 years with Accenture, where she managed two businesses: the Northeast finance transformation practice and the global Communications, Media, and Technology finance transformation practice. In her client interactions, she partnered with C-suite executives on their most complicated, large-scale enterprise transformations.
