Curt Fochtmann
Managing Partner
Ernst & Young
Curt
Fochtmann has been an Ernst & Young man his entire professional
career. Following graduation from the University of Alabama with a
bachelor’s degree in accounting and a master’s degree in taxation,
he stepped right into the company he calls home. Beginning with
internships which eventually lead to positions as a financial
services industry leader in the company’s Southwest and Ohio
regions, he rose quickly through the ranks of Ernst & Young to
global director of human capital, based in Atlanta, where he
traveled the world assisting executives with tax issues and
relocation.
He now brings his skills in recognizing talent and opportunity to
Ernst & Young’s Charlotte location, where he was named managing
partner nearly three years ago. During his tenure in the Queen City,
he has witnessed the growing success of Charlotte and Ernst &
Young’s continuing contribution to the city’s future.
Fochtmann’s emphasis on recruiting talented financial professionals
has netted the Charlotte office of Ernst & Young approximately 100
clients to date, who continually praise the company for its talent
pool, he says, The nearly 300 professionals working at the Charlotte
office are continually educated in new areas and ways to better
serve Ernst & Young’s clients. The proof is visible in the company’s
continuous expansion. In three years, the company has grown from 85
employees to its current number based on client satisfaction in
Charlotte’s growing market.
Fochtmann reflects his commitment to his community by serving a
variety of public service organizations. He is chairman of community
outreach for the board of United Way of Carolinas. He’s also both on
the board of Arts and Science Council and on the audit committee of
the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.
