IRC Presents New Financial Services & Banking Practice Team

(Sept. 2, 2019) IRC Global Executive Search Partners has expanded its coverage of the key sectors and introduces a new global team for the Financial Services & Banking practice.

Paul Knight has been appointed the new IRC Global Practice Leader; Piotr Mazurkiewicz is the new IRC EMEA Practice Leader; Malcolm Duncan has become the IRC Asia Pacific Practice Leader; and Rebecca Wilson is the new IRC Americas Practice Leader.

Paul Knight, IRC Global Practice Leader, explains how rapid change affects this sector: “The Banking and Financial Services sector is
moving at a fast pace and with continuous developments in technology, the new challenger and fintech based start-up banks are changing the way the world interacts and trades across the sector. Our global footprint, along with our market experts position the Practice Group as one of the most responsive, experienced talent search partners in the world. Our continuous growth allows us to provide industry knowledge to support the strategy and expansion of our clients.”

Piotr Mazurkiewicz, IRC EMEA Practice Leader, presents his vision of the future of the sector: “At present, we stand as the best executive
search team for financial markets in the world – from New York via 50 other financial cities thru London. Our presence in practically every
local market, combined with a globally oriented approach allows us to service a global and digital financial sector. In the near future, we strongly believe there won’t be financial institutions, but technology firms with financial institutions licenses. This is the future of modern banking, and we have the biggest technological revolution that has ever happened ahead of us. As the IRC Practice Group, we have an idea how to recognize future leaders who can be at the nexus of this change.”

“I am honoured to be appointed the Americas Practice Leader for the Financial Services and Banking sectors. New York has always been one of the global centers of innovation in this space; IRC has developed a track record of serving clients, by keeping our finger on the pulse of what’s happening in traditional banking roles, as well as in the technology space supporting financial services firms across the country,” adds Rebecca Wilson, IRC Americas Practice Leader.

Malcolm Duncan, Asia-Pacific Practice Leader, adds the viewpoint of the Asia Pacific region: “Asia Pacific continues to be a dynamic
growth region, characterized by state-of-the-art innovation in financial services supported by a platform of strong GDP growth, allowing for ever-increasing financial inclusion. Right now, emerging technologies are creating new opportunities but also a cyber risk – IRC stands ready to work with you to find in the future entrepreneurial, innovative and transformative leaders who will seize the opportunities and manage the risks that will allow Asia Pacific to maintain a competitive edge.”
