Elixirr welcomes Partner Sam Subesinghe to the team

To continue deepening its expertise in the financial services space, Elixirr has hired its newest Partner, Sam Subesinghe.

Sam joins the team from KPMG, where he spent more than 25 years advising FTSE 100 clients across the globe. He most recently served as the UK Head of Financial Services IT Audit. Sam joined KPMG straight out of university in 1996 and spent most of his career consulting across the financial services market before his final role at the firm.

Sam’s expertise lies within digital and regulatory-directed transformation across financial services. As an Elixirr partner, he’ll help the firm continue to support clients through complex change programmes using cutting-edge technology. Elixirr has worked with top financial services companies worldwide, from HSBC to Bank of America and Absa Bank. With Sam’s extensive experience, the firm will continue to strengthen its offering and help clients tackle challenges from digital transformation to climate risk.

Stephen Newton, Founder and CEO of Elixirr, says

I first met Sam in the ’90s and worked with him in KPMG’s IT Audit and Consulting practice. I always knew he would succeed and build a brilliant career in these fields. He certainly has done this. Most importantly, Sam is excellent at client relations and is a role model of one of our core values, getting involved at a personal level to create tangible change for our clients. I’m incredibly excited to have him on board and to continue building out our offering in the financial services space as the industry confronts increasingly complex challenges.

Sam Subesinghe, Elixirr Partner, says

I’m thrilled to join the team at Elixirr and be a part of the change they’re already making in the consulting industry. I’ve known Stephen for many years and have always admired the unique, entrepreneurial culture he has fostered. It’s an exciting new chapter for me in my career, and I look forward to helping take Elixirr’s financial services capability, and others, to the next level!
