Rachel Hanger, Head of Asset Management at KPMG, comments: “Daniel’s appointment is a really important move for us and a huge boost to the growing team at a time when clients are facing increasingly complex challenges and frequent change. Clients tell us that keeping up with regulation and implementing the latest technology safely, is a top priority – but navigating the obstacles can be a minefield.
