PwC promotes 13 partners in deals practice

PwC in the UK has announced changes to its deals leadership team, as well as promoted 13 new equity partners, effective from this July. 

The firm promoted people to partner roles across the deals transaction, restructuring and forensics, lead advisory, insight and analytics, and value creation and realisation teams. 

According to the firm, 46% of the directors promoted to partner within the deals practice are women, compared with 31% recorded last year, and more than half of the new partner group will be based outside of London. 

David Chong, Sally Graham, Manuela Munteanu and Matt Tomlinson have been admitted as partners into the transactions team, who combine financial, commercial and operational expertise with data-driven insights.

Meanwhile, Matt Curry, Eleanor Scott and Matthew Ward-Close have become partners in the value creation and realisation team.

Rebecca Elnaugh and Jonathan Massam have been appointed partners in the lead advisory team, who uncover value, implement strategies and deliver solutions, covering the end-to-end deal.

Minesh Rana, Zeynep Turunc and Michael Willis have been admitted as partners in the restructuring and forensics team, which supports businesses through complex financial, operational and strategic challenges across all regions in the UK.

In addition, Georgie Bryce has been appointed as a partner in the deals insights and analytics team, and will lead the firm’s regional teams to deliver “world class” analytics for its clients.

Lucy Stapleton, UK head of deals at PwC, said: “I would like to congratulate our newly promoted group of partners in the deals practice. 

“Their appointments are a reflection of the incredible work and relentless effort they have shown to help our clients and deliver results, and demonstrates our continued commitment to investing in our deals practice, particularly amidst a more challenging deals environment.”
