Work History

Partner

Nexa Financial Services
2014 - Current

At Nexa I am an audit partner and also the partner responsible for Human Resources.


My portfolio covers a wide variety of industries including retail, manufacturing, investment holding companies and entities in the hospitality sector.


I also have a number of clients that operate in the offshore sector. There is a wide range of entities in this sub set of my portfolio but broadly they would cover investment type operations and financial services, including insurance.

Partner

PricewaterhouseCoopers
1977 - 2014

I was made a partner at Coopers in the mid 1980s.

During my time at Coopers and then PWC I held many significant roles including, head of audit and head of HR. I also sat on the executive at PWC when the regionalization of the PWC offices took place.

My experience would cover many assignments in the offshore sector including captives as well as investment companies. Domestically I had a wide range of clients in addition to my role as head of audit. Probably the most well-known of the clients would be Sagicor, Massy and United Insurance.

As part of the reorganization of PWC to a regional operation I decided in 2014 to move over to BDO which has now become Nexa.
