CATHERINE DRAYTON

She will continue to be regionally responsible for the accounting firm's transaction support services, part of the firm's assurance and business advisory services department, but her specific country responsibility has changed from that of the Czech Republic to Poland. On joining the firm in 1983, Drayton worked in London for five years in cross-border management buyouts and forensic accounting assignments across Western Europe. A native of New Zealand, she earned degrees in law and commerce at the University of Canterbury. Drayton said that she tries to read three books a week, enjoys visiting art galleries and the cinema, and is very fond of dogs. She combines her passions for archaeology and natural history with visits to the Middle East and South America.
