Avyse Partners appoint Debbie Ward as Senior Advisor
We are absolutely delighted to announce that Debbie Ward has joined Avyse Partners as a Senior Advisor. She will work with the management team, bringing a wealth of experience as our growth journey accelerates.
Debbie has been a pioneer of regulatory consulting, growing an enormously successful financial crime advisory practice at EY over her 35 years there.
Her focus will be to support Avyse as our growth, market footprint and scale of operations increases. Through her external perspective and counsel, she will use her passion for coaching and developing talent to support the growth of all of our practices and senior management team.
Many of the team know Debbie well having worked with her at various stages of their careers.
On joining the team Debbie said….
‘I am delighted to be joining the Avyse team at this pivotal point in their development. They have gone from strength to strength in the last three years and I'm excited to be part of their continuing growth. They have a very strong purpose and set of values that are close to my heart and, more importantly, are demonstrated everyday in the behaviours of the high quality, collegiate team and in guiding the business decisions. I look forward to sharing my experiences of building teams and delivering to clients to accelerate the Avyse’s Partners business.’
Our Partner Richard, who worked for Debbie from 2011-2016, said “This is such a fantastic opportunity to help our team learn and grow. I have always admired Debbie’s calm approach to even the toughest challenges, and when it comes to growing people and consulting practices there is no one better. Our first three years have passed by so quickly, it can be difficult to step back and appreciate how far you’ve come, what you’ve learned and how things have evolved. Although it can still feel like it at times, we’re not a start up anymore, we’re an established regulatory consultancy. The appointment of a leader of Debbie’s calibre reinforces this both internally and to the market”.
There’s much to celebrate at Avyse Partners at the moment. We’ve had a raft of new consultants joining in recent weeks and there are plenty more to come. There’s so much going on that our third birthday somewhat passed us by - but rest assured we’ll be taking time to celebrate our collective and personal achievements with the whole team in the coming weeks.
