KPMG International appoints three global sector heads

KPMG International has announced three new global sector head appointments across the organisation’s life sciences, industrial manufacturing and asset management sectors. Liz Claydon has been appointed global sector head of life sciences, alongside two roles she’ll continue to serve, head of global deal advisory and vice chair within KPMG in the UK. She has extensive experience in deal advisory, consumer and life sciences, having supported some of the world’s leading brands and businesses. Commenting on her new appointment, Claydon said: “I’m delighted and proud to lead our strong global life sciences business, working with our talented colleagues across the world, to deliver value to our clients in this critical purpose-led sector. My immediate priorities are to focus on spending time with our global leaders across the sector; refresh our strategic ambition, and in doing so, refine our investments to achieve the growth opportunity ahead of us.” Jonathon Gill has been appointed global sector head of industrial manufacturing. He brings a wealth of experience from the industry, including his most recent roles as head of industrial manufacturing and defence at KPMG in the UK. He will continue working with his UK-based clients in addition to his new international role. Gill said: “Increasing digitization and pace of innovation in rapidly maturing new technologies is increasingly cutting across traditional markets and sectors. I look forward to working together with our global colleagues and developing our teams to make a difference for industrial manufacturing and defence by helping companies embrace the pace of disruption and continued sustainable growth.” Jim Suglia has been appointed global sector head of asset management. With more than 24 years’ experience within KPMG, he takes on his new role alongside leading the alternative investments practise at KPMG in the US. Suglia said: “I look forward to building on the foundation established by my predecessor and helping advance the huge global opportunity Asset Management presents to KPMG’s overall global growth ambition. I’m confident we can significantly contribute to our collective goals and help ensure long-term growth for both KPMG firms and clients across the world.” Regina Mayor, global head of clients and markets at KPMG International, added: “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 innovative 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.”
