Scott was previously head of global financial services at PwC, a position he held for 10 years. He was also a global board member at PwC as chair of the operations and risk committee.
According to Parker Fitzgerald, the hire is part of the firm’s wider expansion and reorganisation, which is seeing a broadening of its strategic consulting services in risk management, regulation and financial technology.
Scott said: “The financial services sector is going through a period of unprecedented change as a result of macro-economic, regulatory and technological drivers re-shaping and challenging the long-term viability of existing business models. As a result, the need to understand and proactively manage risk has never been greater.”
