Mrs Gurm has a proven track record in building and maintaining client relationships.  Her career has been focused on the financial services sector, specifically in banking and funds. Amongst other things, Mrs Gurm has worked as a subject matter expert on many KPMG engagements, including Board governance and Functional reviews; regulatory lead for multiple global initiatives and the development of outsourcing functions for a financial services regulator in Canada.

‘I am delighted to welcome Amy to the Channel Islands team. Over a number of years we have worked together through our network on mutual engagements and it’s a great pleasure to provide a stimulating career option for Amy as well as introducing new ideas and skills to our local team and ultimately, of course, our clients.’
