BUSINESS advisory firm PwC has promoted Kieragh Nelson to become the first woman partner in its fast-growing Operate business.
Headquartered at Merchant Square in Belfast, Operate is PwC’s business dedicated to serving clients with their operational needs, with a headcount of 2,700.
It deals with clients looking for managed services such as ongoing regulatory compliance, cyber security and business transformation.
Kieragh has been with PwC since 2018, with 25 years of experience in complex operational environments across engineering, energy and financial services industries in the UK, Ireland and India.
Her new role will involve growing the business by focusing on clients and markets, with a particular focus on managed services.
Last year Operate hired a second partner, Alex Wilson, who is the business’ chief operating officer.
Ian McConnell, partner responsible for Operate, said: “As we continue to grow to meet client needs in managed services, we need a greater range of talented people to help us run the business.
“Kieragh has been an integral part of the Operate team since she started with us four years ago, and we're happy her hard work and skill has been rewarded. I’m delighted to have our first woman partner.”
