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.

As a result, the need to understand and proactively manage risk has never been greater.”
“Parker Fitzgerald has established itself as a truly credible consulting partner to the industry with deep insight of the challenges presented by these drivers. I’m both excited and delighted to be working with Scott and his leadership team.”
