KPMG has recruited rival PwC’s U.K. director of communications, Brian Bannister, for a new post to head global communications for the accounting and consulting giant's international operations, based in London.
Bannister is slated to join KPMG in December after five years at PwC. He previously directed communications and marketing for the Institute of Chartered Accounts in England and Wales and, earlier, led corporate communications for BSI.
KPMG, which operates in 152 countries, is one of the so-called Big Four account firms, with PwC, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Ernst & Young.
Seth Oster, an EPA and Napster alum, joined Montvale, N.J.-based KPMG in December as executive director of communications.
