Vend Chief Delivery Officer joins PwC to head up new Innovation and Ventures hub
PwC New Zealand has established a dedicated unit focusing on innovation and new ventures for the firm.
While PwC has a strong presence advising clients on their digital strategy, innovation programmes and expansion opportunities, the establishment of the Innovation & Ventures Hub represents the first dedicated team of specialists who will focus entirely on PwC innovation opportunities in an incubator environment.
"The world is changing at an ever increasing rate and technology is one of the key drivers of this. The Innovation & Ventures hub represents our commitment to finding new and better ways of solving clients problems and enabling their success." says Bruce Hassall, CEO.
Scott McLiver who is the Partner Leading the IV Hub commented "We firmly believe that being innovative, digitally enabled and exploring disruptive opportunities is crucial to the success of businesses today. The Innovation & Ventures hub is PwC New Zealand practicing what we preach."
PwC New Zealand has been working extensively with the Innovation and Ventures team based in PwC's Sydney office for the last 12 months. The establishment of the dedicated New Zealand hub represents PwC New Zealand's commitment to solving clients problems in new and better ways.
"We are delighted to have secured Nic Kennedy as the Chief Innovation and Ventures Officer for PwC New Zealand. She brings a wealth of experience to the role and a proven ability to deliver in an agile environment," says Scott McLiver.
Nic joins PwC from her role as Chief Delivery Officer for cloud Point of Sale business, Vend.
