PA Consulting welcomes financial services expert…

Clint Sookermany joins PA Consulting (PA), the consultancy that’s bringing ingenuity to life, as a partner in its financial services practice. Clint will lead PA’s growth in the financial services sector in Norway with a focus on growing the business and increasing our digital footprint in banking.

Clint has more than 25 years of experience working in financial services, having led several large-scale strategy development and strategy implementation projects. He has carried out several major change projects for large financial institutions, where there have often been digital and regulatory drivers. This includes setting up new areas, restructuring and post-merger integrations. He also has deep expertise in key regulatory matters including MiFID I/II, Solvency II, Basel III/IV, PSD2 and IRRBB.

Prior to his most recent role at KPMG where he was responsible for their overall financial services strategy, Clint worked at IBM, DNB and PWC.

PA’s financial services experts combine deep knowledge of banking, insurance, pensions, private equity, and asset management with expertise in strategy, technology, digital and innovation to help clients adapt, transform and succeed. PA’s experts help global banks and insurance companies to adopt organisational agility at scale and transform their digital experiences. Recent client work includes helping HSBC to digitise its organisation from the ground up by developing core products and services to create seamless customer and colleague experiences, helping Ageas to become more data-driven, Aegon to transform and take more agile approaches, and ING to become leaders in platform innovation.

Gavin Neilson, Global Head of Financial Services at PA Consulting, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Clint to the financial services team at such an exciting time. In such a highly regulated sector, with an appetite to digitise, Clint is uniquely placed to lead the growth of our Norwegian financial services business. I am confident Clint, as an experienced and recognised senior leader in the financial services sector, will make a strong impact in the market for PA. I very much look forward to working with him”.

Clint Sookermany adds: “PA Consulting has a strong reputation and is known for delivering high quality, innovative work for its clients. I can’t wait to get started working with such a talented team to deliver value and success for our Norwegian clients. From finding new ways to “wow” customers to adapting to regulatory change to making strides to improve sustainability in the sector – it just makes me want to jump out of bed in the morning! PA is on an exciting growth journey and I’m looking forward to getting started.”
