He has shown dynamic leadership and expertise in the design and implementation of finance change projects, as well as process improvements to enhance operational efficiencies, improve data quality, reduce delivery time and create strong governance frameworks. He previously worked as an Associate Director at KPMG, having occupied global leadership positions in leading international financial institutions such as State Street, Goldman Sachs and EY, where he developed his extensive background. He will now report to Andrew O’Shea, Global Head of Funds Services.
Andrew O’Shea, says: “TMF Group is continuously focusing on hiring the best people, as evidenced by the many recent key newcomers in different markets, spanning from the USA to the APAC region.
