The London-headquartered management consultancy that works exclusively within the finance sector has added to its executive team.

Parker Fitzgerald has appointed Jeremy Scott, former global financial services leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers, to its executive board as head of institutional relationships.

Scott led PwC’s global financial services practice for a decade and sat on the firm’s global board as chair of the operations and risk committee.

Parker Fitzgerald said the appointment is part of a “significant expansion and reorganisation” of the firm as it broadens its range of strategic consulting services in risk management, regulation and financial technology.

“Jeremy is a highly respected leader in both the financial and professional services sector. His experience has covered every aspect of consulting and will be critical in helping us steer the firm through the next phase of its growth,” said Scott Vincent, chief executive of Parker Fitzgerald.

“Over the course of his career Jeremy has assisted many of the world’s largest financial institutions in navigating several of the most critical issues the industry has ever faced – his experience will be absolutely invaluable to us and our clients.”
