Bethesda, MD - Andrews & Cole, LLC, a premier provider of executive search, professional recruiting and consulting services, announced its combination with Avanti Group, led by Jay Gennaro.
The integration of Avanti Group will further enhance Andrews & Cole’s ability to deliver high-impact tailored talent solutions across direct hire, retained search, and consulting engagements, particularly for senior-level finance and accounting roles nationwide.
Founded in 2002, Andrews & Cole has built a reputation for delivering top-tier finance and accounting talent through a relationship-driven, high-touch approach. The addition of Avanti Group strengthens the firm’s professional search capabilities and expands its footprint across key markets and industries.
Jay Gennaro brings more than 20 years of experience in finance and accounting search, with a track record of partnering closely with clients to identify and place top talent. Notably, Gennaro previously worked alongside Nicole DelToro and Brooke Fisher earlier in their careers, making this combination both a strategic and personal milestone.
“Having worked with Nicole and Brooke earlier in our careers, I’ve seen firsthand the integrity, work ethic, and client-first mindset that define Andrews & Cole,” said Jay Gennaro. “Bringing Avanti Group into the firm allows us to scale that same philosophy to a broader platform while continuing to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients and candidates.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Jay to Andrews & Cole,” said Nicole DelToro, Founder and CEO of Andrews & Cole. “Our history working together created a strong foundation of trust and alignment that makes this partnership especially meaningful. Jay’s expertise, relationships, and commitment to excellence mirror our own, and we are excited about what we will build together for our clients, candidates, and team.”
Brooke Fisher, Executive Vice President & Partner at Andrews & Cole, added, “I’ve always respected the way Jay builds relationships and delivers for his clients. Bringing him into Andrews & Cole feels both natural and energizing. There’s a shared foundation in how we approach our work, and I’m excited about the level of impact we can have together as we continue to grow the firm.”
