“His experience in developing practical frameworks that enable effective collaboration, combined with his deep understanding of member firm needs, linguistic capabilities and intercultural experience, makes him an invaluable addition to our team.”

Grosse-Brauckmann brings international leadership experience across EMEA, Asia and Oceania, along with global project expertise from senior posts at both Nexia and PKF networks.

Over the course of his career, he has concentrated on building cross-border collaboration, enhancing consistency and quality, and assisting member companies in delivering client solutions.

Grosse-Brauckmann said: “Being part of the PrimeGlobal team working alongside our member firms across EMEA and beyond is a tremendous opportunity.

“Our approach – building capacity, driving new opportunities and fostering a highly collaborative environment where every firm can thrive – forms the foundation of our members´ resilience.”
