Dawn McGuire has been appointed as managing director, Americas at Goal Group as the company scales up its US business.
McGuire will lead Goal’s growth by capitalising on the roll-out of its subscription-based cloud delivery model, and guide the New York-based team to further raise the bar in operations, client service and research excellence.
She joins with experience in building, leading a growing three global information reporting and withholding tax practices.
Most recently, McGuire worked at Ernst & Young as principal where she advised chief financial officers, tax directors, legal and operations leaders of Fortune 500 companies on IRW obligations and minimise the risk of non-compliance, among other responsibilities.
Prior to Ernst & Young, she worked at PwC as tax manager, information reporting and withholding tax where she served as an IRW consultant to large financial services, venture capital, internet and automotive companies.
“With her deep knowledge of tax, legal and operational matters, Dawn McGuire is the perfect choice to take our world-leading tax reclaims and securities class actions business to its exciting next stage of growth,” says Stephen Everard, CEO of Goal Group.
Commenting on her appointment, McGuire states: “As the focus on corporate governance intensifies globally, investors are more motivated to seek redress from an ethical as well as financial perspective. If investment intermediaries do not empower their clients to make their voices heard and submit every eligible claim, they are failing to maximise returns and neglecting a vital fiduciary duty.”
“With the right external support, fund managers and custodians can transform reclaims and recoveries from a burdensome duty into a lucrative competitive differentiator,” she adds.
McGuire’s appointment is the latest in a series of new hires. Goal Group recently named Tom Grande to lead the firm’s New York sales team.
Last month, Simon Cleary also joined Goal as a consultant covering Asia for its Asia Pacific region.
Earlier this year, John Binderand Shane McLay were also recruited.
