New partners at PwC

Thursday 28 January 2021

PwC has strengthened its senior leadership team with three pivotal promotions to help lead and shape the strategic direction of the business.

Adrian Peacegood, David Waldron and Chris van den Berg have each reached major milestones in their careers, having been admitted to the PwC Partnership, effective from 1 January.

Mr Peacegood has been with the firm since 1999, originally joining PwC in Guernsey as a graduate. An accomplished assurance services leader, he has a personal focus on the alternatives sector, with his client portfolio including hedge funds, private equity funds, infrastructure and real estate funds. 

Mr Waldron joined PwC in Guernsey 13 years ago, having relocated from Dublin in 2008. He has built up a wealth of expertise across various financial services sectors and has worked extensively in the fund sector across structuring, investor reporting and operational taxes.

Mr van den Berg has amassed over 20 years’ experience in audit, specialising in trust, corporate & fund service providers, fund managers and private equity vehicles. He joined the PwC network 13 years ago and currently leads the Channel Islands’ fiduciary audit practice.

Commenting on this latest series of partnership admissions, Guernsey Managing Partner Evelyn Brady congratulated the trio on their "very well-deserved success."

"Admitting three new Partners at once is a bold step and demonstrates the robust growth we continue to experience in the local market," she said.

"This also reinforces our ongoing commitment to having the best capabilities available to help our clients be successful, stay ahead and add value to their businesses despite these unprecedented times. I’ve seen at first hand each new Partner’s energy, enthusiasm and commitment to our clients and people, delivering exceptional quality and client service in increasingly complex environments, and inspiring those around them.

"They each have a unique combination of global expertise and in-depth, local knowledge and will make a significant contribution to the leadership of the firm.”

PwC’s latest round of Partner admissions follow the appointment last October of seven new Directors – Kimberley Girard, Evgenia Litvintseva-Demetriou, Jonathan Mauger, Bernard Mullaly, Hani Salem, Phon Siney and Nadine van der Westhuizen.
