Since qualifying as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant with PwC UK, Thomas has been working as an audit manager at a large Japanese financial group in Amsterdam, helping it strengthen its internal governance framework and develop a sustainable business model in EMEA. In this role, he has had significant exposure to regulators, most notably the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and the European Banking Authority (EBA).
Especially in light of the array of societal challenges we are currently facing, Thomas aims to leverage on his diverse background and bring new insights to the IRB by not being afraid to challenge, and ensure that public trust and the reputation of chartered accountants are maintained.
