Forensic accountant and investigations professional Chris Phillips has joined cross-border advisory firm Quantuma. Phillips becomes a Managing Director in Quantuma’s London office.

Phillips said, “I am delighted to have joined Quantuma as it embarks on its next chapter, preparing to accelerate its already impressive growth, with the recent investment by Sun Capital. I was attracted by the firm’s drive and ambition and have been extremely impressed by the quality and profile of work the team undertakes and the collaborative approach the firm applies to client engagements.”

Looking ahead, Phillips will work to develop the London based investigations team of Quantuma, while joining forces with colleagues from across the firm’s international offices.

He joins from the London arm of US consulting firm Alvarez and Marsal, where he served as managing director for three years. Prior to this he spent thirty years at Deloitte, where he held senior roles in Melbourne, Sydney, Geneva and Zurich before returning to London.

Quantuma CEO, Carl Jackson, added, “Over the course of the last five years we have built a highly regarded disputes and eDiscovery team in the UK, which acts for some of the world’s leading law firms, and regularly undertakes high profile domestic and international assignments. The recruitment of a London-based anchor for our international investigations team is the obvious next step for Quantuma. I am delighted that Chris has chosen to join us and look forward to him developing and growing our London-based investigations practice, as we build a team of investigations and business intelligence professionals around him.”
