About the Team 

PwC’s Consulting practice provides business and technology advice to leading organisations to help solve their most complex business challenges, from strategy to execution. 

The Financial Services Strategy & Operations team enables organisations in the Financial Services industry (banks, asset managers, insurers, etc) to design and execute strategies to grow, become more productive, modernise their organisation, and position themselves for the future. We support this through a range of services focused on growth, productivity, ways of working, and digital transformation.
