February 10, 2026 (New York) — ECB STAR Group, a retained executive search and leadership advisory firm within LSS Strategic Partners, today announced the appointments of Rob Nutinsky as Partner in the U.S. Legal Practice and Rob Rostron as Partner in the CFO Practice. The new talent deepens ECB STAR Group’s coverage across law firms, corporate legal departments, private equity, and portfolio companies.
Nutinsky brings two decades of experience placing partners and practice groups at AmLaw 100 firms, Fortune 500 companies, and elite boutiques. He specializes in strategic partner moves and practice-group development, including merger opportunities, and has led cross-border searches across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Before joining ECB STAR Group, he served as Managing Director at a national search firm focused on legal placements.
Rostron joins the CFO Practice with more than 30 years of experience in executive search, management consulting, and transaction advisory services. He focuses on CFO and senior finance leadership roles for private equity-backed businesses and corporate clients, drawing on prior work leading a private equity-focused search practice and advisory and transaction assignments for financial sponsors and corporate clients.
“These hires expand our ability to deliver in two areas where clients are making critical leadership decisions,” said Tom Wilkinson, CEO of ECB STAR Group. “Rob Nutinsky’s track record in partner moves and practice-group strategy strengthens our legal platform, while Rob Rostron’s depth in private equity and CFO work provides experienced coverage for sponsors and corporates.”
“Demand for board and C-suite talent remains strong across our client base,” said Darin DeWitt, Managing Partner at ECB STAR Group. “These hires align with our strategy to add senior practitioners who combine industry insight with disciplined search execution.”
