Background

About Nigel Smith

As PwC’s Premier Clients leader, I oversee the firm’s premier client programs to deliver value to our largest and most important clients and stakeholders. Throughout my 30+ years with the firm, I've helped clients navigate their most complex problems and strategic initiatives by empowering teams, building relationships and developing solutions with greater impact through deeper industry/sector knowledge and insight. Previously, I served as a Deals Partner where I had the opportunity to advise on more than 500 deals for both corporate and private equity buyers and sellers, providing guidance on due diligence, deal structuring, accounting and tax considerations along with the various factors impacting integration. With proven expertise, bold insights and tech that moves business forward, at PwC we help you drive your company to the leading edge. PwC provides professional services across Audit and Assurance, Advisory and Tax. We bring a range of capabilities so you can solve faster, solve more and realize more value. These capabilities include cloud and digital, deals, sustainability, cybersecurity and privacy, governance/boards, risk, transformation and much more. Across our global network of nearly professionals in 152 countries, we are committed to advancing quality in everything we do. I earned my MBA from Columbia University and my bachelor’s degree from the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, which is where I started my career – in Coopers & Lybrand’s audit and corporate finance practices – before moving to New York in 1996. I live in Brooklyn with my wife, two children, and our black labrador. Outside of work I enjoy sports, especially skiing, golf and tennis and I am attempting to learn to surf. I am a fan of rugby and cricket and am happy to cook anything on a barbeque. All views are my own.
