Kinetic Partners has hired two team members to work on global consulting assignments related to its growing liquidation and forensics practice.

Krissa E. Jeffers, joins Kinetic Partners as a Consultant specialising in forensics and insolvency. Her expertise includes managing investigations, large-scale fraud engagements, insolvencies, and other litigious situations. Prior to joining Kinetic Partners, she spent six years with KPMG, including three years in the Cayman Islands. Krissa is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the state of Pennsylvania where she earned a B.S. in accounting at Lehigh University.

Jon Yamaoka has also joined Kinetic Partners as a Consultant and will focus on forensics, disputes and insolvency. Prior to joining Kinetic Partners, he spent three years with Huron Consulting Group in New York. Jon earned a B.S. in Finance at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

"Our firm has a strong team in place already and the combined skills of these two new hires further augment our ability to meet client demands in the areas of liquidation and forensics. Concerns about conflicts of interest are keen in light of the recent Goldman Sachs saga and we expect the impending financial reform bill to have a significant impact,” said Kinetic Partners Founding Member Julian Korek.
