TGS NEW GOVERNANCE

Interview with:

Tomás DIEZ

South Europe https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasdiez/

I am a Tax and Legal advisor, Partner of TGS Edisa in Spain providing M&A, Tax Planning and Company Law services to companies and individuals worldwide.

I have been a member of the International Board of TGS Network since 2018. I was responsible for starting the TGS Innovation and Technology Committee and before that I was part of the International Tax Committee of the Network.

My objectives as TGS regional leader

I am delighted to have been nominated as TGS Regional Leader for South Europe and to being part of the growth, densification and profitability of the network in this region. We have kicked-off with some exploratory meetings to identify the priorities of the members of the Group and to understand how to develop the network in this local area (that we would probably name as West Mediterranean in short).

Our initial aim is to jointly identify the next steps to take, identifying the long term goals and defining the first immediate steps. Along our meetings we also expect to achieve a better mutual understanding of our firms and devise specific areas of cooperation.

Fabrizio ALDRIGHETTI Africa

As Founder and Managing Director of TGS South Africa, I am a Chartered Accountant and Registered Auditor. I am also a qualified Chartered Management Accountant (CIMA) and hold a diploma in Production Management .

Clients appreciate my personal service and passion for face-to-face interactions. I have over 25 years of experience in the needs of owner-run businesses. I preempt client needs with solutions. Clients often compliment me on being ethical, friendly yet professional, responsive, flexible yet compliant and honest.

My objectives as TGS regional leader

I have been leading a comprehensive development campaign, ‘Let’s paint Africa orange together’ since the firm joined TGS. I have appointed sub-regional leaders from within the network and aim to have one member in each African country in the next seven years.

I suggest that if each current member ‘knocks on the door’ of their neighboring countries, TGS African penetration could quickly jump from 6 members to 18 then from 18 to 47. I have also been actively creating action by participating in ACOA (Africa Congress of accountants) and in hosting a second African Managing Partner conference in the aim of generating more joint action.
