Kiskinis joins Hinckley Allen from Sullivan & Worcester LLP, where he served as COO. He is replacing Hinckley Allen’s longtime firm Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Charles R. Reppucci, who announced his retirement following a distinguished 32-year career at the firm.
“Charlie has been a multi-talented leader over the past 32 years, helping the firm develop and execute its strategic vision,” said Managing Partner, David J.

He will oversee the firm’s senior management team, which includes financial management and accounting, marketing, business development, information technology, strategic planning, human resources management and facilities and office operations.
