PA Consulting Group has made two senior appointments in its global Financial Services practice over the past months. Kevin O'Shaughnessy has joined as a partner and leads the Digital service offering. Andrew Dawson, coming from PwC, has been appointed head of the Strategy Consulting service offering.

Kevin O'Shaughnessy has over 20 years of financial services experience with companies including Standard Life, GE Capital, Royal London Group, Prudential, National Australia Bank and AXA. In January 2013, he left Standard Life to join Insight Business Development (short-term assignment), a midsized consulting firm from Scotland which he co-founded in 1999. After nine months at the firm O'Shaughnessy made the transfer to PA Consulting Group, where he leads the digital portfolio to clients in the financial sector.

“Kevin has a strong track record of helping financial services clients realise their digital ambitions. His ability to bring together the various elements of business - marketing and commercial, technology and operations - will help PA's clients take an integrated approach to driving their digital business agenda”, says David Troman, head of PA's financial services practice.
