Conexus, a rapidly growing interim and executive human capital solutions firm specializing in the Office of the CFO, has announced the opening of its first East Coast offices in New York and Connecticut. The expansion will be led by Partner David Erickson, who brings decades of experience in executive search and interim leadership solutions.
Erickson joins Conexus with deep expertise supporting organizations within the Office of the CFO, particularly private equity-backed companies. Throughout his career, he has built a strong reputation delivering both retained executive search and interim leadership solutions. In his new role, Erickson will lead Conexus’ East Coast operations and help grow the firm’s presence among private equity firms and portfolio companies, while also serving clients across the tri-state region.

The new offices mark Conexus’ second geographic expansion in 2026, following the recent launch of its Salt Lake City location. The company indicated that additional market expansions are expected in the coming months as part of its broader national growth strategy.
Mike Kelly, CEO of Conexus, said the company had been deliberate about entering the New York market, waiting until it identified the right leader to drive the expansion. He noted that Erickson’s extensive experience in the Office of the CFO and his proven ability to support private equity portfolio companies made him an ideal choice to lead the firm’s East Coast operations. Kelly added that with Erickson and a growing team in place, Conexus is well positioned to strengthen its impact in the region.
