PwC gearing up for growth in Mauritius and East Africa

28 May 2024, Moka - PwC Mauritius has communicated a change to its operating model - effective 1 July 2024, with the creation of a new line of service, Consulting and Risk Services. The Firm now has four client-facing lines of service: Assurance, Tax, Consulting and Risk Services (C&RS), and Deals. The reorganisation is aligned with PwC’s strategy The New Equation - to remain ‘fit for purpose’ to address the breadth and complexity of challenges faced by its clients and society.

The adoption of this new operating model in Mauritius reinforces regional collaboration to better serve our clients with interests in Africa, particularly in the East Market Area (EMA) (refer to the PwC Mauritius CEO Survey findings below), and to respond to business trends, especially in the global business sector. The move also aims at strengthening PwC Mauritius’ international presence in the PwC Network.

The PwC Mauritius’ partners are geared up to transform the firm into a regional one with key roles as follows:

  • Besides his current position as PwC Mauritius Senior Partner, Anthony Leung Shing will also endorse the role of EMA Deputy Regional Senior Partner and become a member of the Africa Leadership Team;
  • Vikas Sharma will lead the Consulting and Risk Services (C&RS) at an EMA level and in Mauritius;
  • Olivier Rey continues as the EMA Clients and Markets Leader.


Delivering powerful transformation

New leadership roles have emerged from this new structure locally, as follows:

  • Jean-Pierre Young will lead the firm’s transformation and innovation agenda as Chief Innovation
    Officer;
  • Rajeev Basgeet will be the new Deals Leader.

Dheerend Puholoo remains the Tax Leader and Robert Coutet, the Assurance Leader. Anthony Leung Shing, PwC Mauritius Senior Partner and EMA Deputy Regional Senior Partner, said: “As a Mauritius firm, we are being called upon to play a more important role in the region and this has led to us to rethink our role as partners to ensure that we can better seize market opportunities. As the integration is progressing smoothly, my partners are market focused, inspired and committed to harnessing the talent, capabilities and creativity to continue to deliver quality and grow in new ways - as a team and as individuals. This will unlock new unique learning, networking and experience opportunities for our people.”

“Moreover, PwC Mauritius is well-positioned to leverage its various centres of excellence around staff augmentation, payroll and cybersecurity in the PwC Global Network’” he added.
