David Kelly
Head of Clients and Markets, Business Restructuring Services, PwC United Kingdom
David is a partner in the Business Restructuring team and is Head of Clients and Markets for the Restructuring Management Board.
David’s main role is providing support to management teams, boards of directors, financiers and shareholders dealing with situations of immediate or impending financial crisis as they seek to restore and recover value for shareholders and creditors.
