However, we felt it was time for a change and have taken this opportunity to completely revamp our image and to update our service offerings to be more closely aligned with our client’s needs.

Chriss concluded. “KA2 is going from strength to strength, which is demonstrated not only by the specialist skills and experience the growing management team is bringing to the business, but also by the range of exciting transformation programmes we are currently involved in. I am delighted to welcome both Clare and Guido into the KA2 family. Clare knows the financial technology sector inside out, she is never afraid to challenge established thinking and her brutally honest, unorthodox approach to business is very refreshing. Guido brings in-depth strategic and research experience to his role as COO and his insights and experience in this area will be invaluable as we continue to further develop our capabilities and client service offerings. I am really looking forward to working closely with Clare, Guido and the expanding management team in taking KA2 to the next level.”
