Risk assurance head appointed at PwC
PwC has appointed Helen Nixseaman as the new head of its risk assurance practice in the Midlands.
Nixseaman has been promoted to the role after joining the Midlands team just over a year ago, following a move from the accountancy firm's London office.
PwC said she has more then 20 years' experience in risk assurance and is to provide specialist advice to businesses about how to manage and mitigate risks associated with the commercial environment.
Nixseaman said: "The firm's risk assurance practice in the Midlands has grown significantly in recent years and now employs more than 100 staff. The reason for its success is the sheer depth and quality of the expertise we provide in diverse areas like adopting new IT systems or other new technologies, data handling and third party contracts."
Mark Smith, regional chairman of PwC in the Midlands, added: "This is a strategic appointment that will further strengthen our risk assurance services in the region.
"Helen has already demonstrated her drive and commitment in growing the firm's risk assurance practice over the past year and she is continuing to strengthen her links with the Midlands business community."
