The Rising Stars of the Profession: Anthony Carmello

"Family and EY have been the most influential factors to my success. The inspiring work ethic and unconditional support of my family have been instrumental in my life. At EY, the combination of mentorship and opportunity has been invaluable. I feel privileged to have outstanding mentors who truly invest in my career," he says.

Carmello's instincts and perceptive abilities make him a highly sought-after asset to EY. His abilities do not escape the attention of clients either, who often request he personally be on the team before extending an EY contract. Carmello says his work helping EY grow its advisory practice has been "extremely rewarding" while helping fulfill the firm's purpose of "building a better working world."

I am excited about the opportunity for innovation and the continuous pursuit of helping my clients manage risk, improve performance and enable change," he says. Carmello says he's "truly honored" by the award, and largely credits the support and mentorship of his fellow consultants.

"It is both extremely humbling and motivating to be selected. I am committed to paying forward the level of mentorship and leadership that have been afforded to me."
