PwC Channel Islands welcomes team leader back from Singapore

Friday 05 December 2014

Mike Byrne has returned to Jersey following a two-year secondment with PwC Singapore where he led the range of services in the alternative fund space.

Having led a very successful team in building up this part of PwC’s business in Singapore, he returned to Jersey this autumn as Asset Management industry leader for PwC in the Channel Islands, with a personal focus on private equity and hedge funds.

Now based in Jersey, he will continue to work closely with the PwC Singapore Asset Management team, visiting regularly to maintain relationships and to support clients both in the region, as well as European alternative asset managers and service providers seeking to enter the South East Asian market.

Brendan McMahon, Senior Partner, PwC Channel Islands, said: “We are excited to have Mike back in our senior leadership team. His specialist knowledge, absolute commitment and contribution to PwC, both in Southeast Asia and here in the Channel Islands, coupled with his extensive connections and his ability to foster dynamic, collaborative relationships are invaluable in supporting clients, both locally and further afield.”
