London, 11 November 2024: KPMG International has announced a new round of Global Sector Head appointments as it strengthens support for KPMG clients further across industry.

Three new appointments have been made across the organization’s Life Sciences, Industrial Manufacturing and Asset Management sectors to support client growth and drive forward innovation. 

As we reach an inflexion point in business where attention shifts from cost cutting to growth, business leaders across the globe are seeking proactive, agile and innovation solutions to support their future growth plans. Our three new Global Sector Heads bring decades of industry experience and are equipped with the insight required to deliver a service offering aligned to these evolving client needs. With their direction and experience, I’m confident KPMG firms will help companies across all sectors return to long-term, sustainable growth.
