Lindsay J’afari-Pak has been appointed as PwC’s UK insurance tax market leader

She succeeds Colin Graham, who has led the UK practice since 2011 and is now focusing on his role as global insurance tax leader.

J’afari-Pak started her career in PwC before working at Herbert Smith, AXA UK and Resolution. She then returned to PwC as a partner in 2013 and has since led the PwC UK’s tax services to the life insurance industry. J’Afari-Pak is also a director on the board of the financial services member group TheCityUK, and a member of the corporate development board of the charity Rosa.

PwC has also bolstered its tax team in the UK insurance practice with the promotions of Ayesha Patel and Andy Rosam to director.
