SBI Growth Names Former Cresa Exec as Its CFO

With more than 25 years of financial leadership experience across multiple industries, Kristin MacCarthy will oversee SBI Growth's financial strategy to support its continued growth and value creation for clients.

Veteran financial executive Kristin MacCarthy has been appointed chief financial officer of Dallas-based growth advisory firm SBI Growth.

MacCarthy brings more than 25 years of financial leadership experience across multiple industries to her new position, including commercial real estate, telecommunications, and distribution, and she will oversee SBI Growth’s financial strategy to support its continued growth and value creation for clients.

“Kristin’s extensive experience and strategic mindset make her a perfect fit for SBI Growth as we continue to expand and innovate,” Mike Hoffman, CEO of SBI Growth, said in a statement. “Her background in managing large-scale financial operations and her success in driving growth through M&A will help us navigate our next phase of development and deliver even greater value to our clients.”

MacCarthy has a proven track record of driving profitability, guiding mergers and acquisitions, and developing long-term growth strategies in both Fortune 100 companies and privately held organizations, SBI said. MacCarthy’s expertise in restructuring finance teams, streamlining reporting processes, and enhancing operational efficiency will be instrumental as SBI Growth continues its momentum in the market.

Before SBI Growth, MacCarthy served as CFO at Cresa LLC, a private-equity-backed commercial real estate advisory firm, where she played a critical role in managing financial health, including cash flow optimization, strategic growth targets, equity raising, and M&A evaluations.

Earlier in her career, MacCarthy held senior financial leadership roles at JLL Inc., US Cellular, and Grainger, where she led system integrations, operational improvement initiatives, and large-scale financial operations.

“SBI Growth is at a pivotal moment of growth,” MacCarthy said in a statement. “The firm is uniquely positioned to serve clients in a way no other growth advisory is, and I’m excited by the opportunity to shape its future.”
