PwC U.S. has named Greg Szczesny as a managing director in the firm's expanding Risk Assurance practice, where he will play a leading role developing the firm's conflict minerals service offering. 

PwC is making significant investments in helping companies address provisions within the Dodd-Frank Act around conflict minerals. Szczesny will help drive this service, which includes delivering large-scale readiness projects to clients across all industries, focusing specifically in healthcare, retail and industrial products.

Based in New York, Szczesny joins PwC after seven years with KPMG where he most recently served as a national leader in that firm's Conflict Minerals Center of Excellence. His prior project experience beyond conflict minerals includes leading a multi-year audit for a global diversified industrial firm, conducting internal audits and recommending process improvements across global manufacturing facilities.

Prior to his position at KPMG, he held various leadership roles within Stryker Orthopaedics' global supply chain organization, as well as having served as a United States Army infantry officer assigned to special and conventional units.
