"Under Tony's management, McKinley Finance has quadrupled its staff size and is now generating revenue of well over $1 million annually," said Tony Sorensen, a founding partner of McKinley Group and a leading search professional in the Twin Cities for the past decade. "By converting McKinley Finance into its own entity last year, we were able to accelerate its growth even further. Tony has led McKinley Finance since day one, he was really the only choice for this position. He's a strong leader, very professional and he makes solid business decisions." Sorensen added that Fornetti is an equity partner in McKinley Finance.
McKinley Group, McKinley Finance and McKinley Consulting were founded by Sorensen and his partners in 2001.
