International audit and advisory firm Mazars has appointed Vivian Pereira as a Partner in its London wing. He will take on a newly created role in banking and capital markets for the firm.

At the start of 2022, banking and capital market businesses face a series of critical challenges.

The Banking and Capital Markets practice of Mazars helps leading global banks, regulators, central banks and governments navigate the web of regulatory, economic and political challenges currently facing the industry.

As Mazars looks to boost the service offered to clients in the UK financial sector, it has appointed Vivian Pereira to the newly created role of Banking and Capital Markets partner in its London office.

Pereira will be responsible for developing the practice through assisting the development of a multi-specialism team of banking and regulatory professionals, while also playing a key role in supporting Mazars’ commitment to inclusion through the development of a diverse team which places integrity and quality at the core of its values.

Gregory Marchat, Head of Financial Services, said of the news, “We are very pleased to be welcoming Vivian as a new Partner at Mazars. His team will play an important role in delivering key advisory services for our clients. I am looking forward to working with Vivian as he leads and develops his team.”
