Pritesh Patel

Senior Partner

My early career was spent qualifying as a chartered accountant with a Big 4 firm following which I spent over 20 years in the industry gaining significant experience in Capital Markets, Banking, and Asset Management. I held several senior leadership roles at major institutions such as Head of Front Office Risk & Control, Chief Auditor, and Chief Operating Officer. I have a deep understanding of risk management principles, assurance techniques, and financial services regulation. At Davies, I now advise clients on Risk and Controls, technical assurance reviews, and complex regulatory remediation and work with board-level executives, risk and internal audit committees, and global regulators.
