We will continue to invest in our people, deepen our partnerships with clients and stakeholders, and bring together technology and expertise to respond to evolving market needs. "I look forward to working with our teams and partners as we strengthen our impact and support organisations across our markets to navigate complexity and move forward with confidence.”
PWC West Market Area Regional Senior Partner, Sam Abu, said George is an accomplished leader with extensive experience across our business, our markets and our clients.
