Thanks to the plethora of expertise within the network, we are well placed to provide tailored, broad advice and value to international clients around the world.

Liza Robbins, CEO of Kreston Global, added: “We are very excited with Sharon’s appointment to the group. She brings a wealth of experience in steering private client teams and on an individual level has demonstrated a keen commitment to client service throughout her career. I look forward to working closely with her and the international cohort of private client specialists within the network in future.”
