About
I am proud to lead Schroders as Group Chief Executive. The Board delegates responsibility for the executive management of the Company's business to me and I am privileged to lead and empower an outstanding executive team to take this great business forward.
I am a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
I was previously Network Vice Chairman and Global Markets Leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) until October 2023 where I led all market-facing activities, initiatives, and strategy. I also led the relationship with a number of PwC's most important global clients, particularly in financial services. During my career I have been fortunate to have worked across Africa and in London, Zurich, Paris, New York and Sydney.
