PwC welcomes Justin Gray to Advisory partnership in New Zealand

PwC has announced that Justin Gray is joining the firm as a partner in its Advisory practice.

In his new role, Gray will work with clients across both the private and public sectors, with a focus on AI-enabled transformation, technology strategy and business reinvention.

He brings experience in technology, business transformation and large-scale digital delivery across New Zealand’s public and private sectors to PwC. Most recently, Gray was Managing Director of Datacom in New Zealand, and previously spent more than two decades with Accenture, including as Country Managing Director for New Zealand.

Justin says he is looking forward to joining PwC and supporting clients through a period of significant change. “It’s clear to me that AI will drive the biggest change to how we live and work that I’ll see in my lifetime.”

“AI is reshaping how organisations operate, compete and create value. Yet adopting AI isn’t about one ingredient, it’s the mix: value diagnostics, operating models, process work, change management, risk, capability building, and technology, with a massive dose of agility.”

“That breadth of critical ingredients is exactly why I’ve joined PwC. I’m convinced this unique combination of skills is what will matter and I’m looking forward to working with PwC’s clients to help them harness these opportunities and deliver practical, lasting outcomes.”

Andrew Holmes, CEO of PwC in New Zealand, says Justin’s appointment reflects the firm’s continued investment in helping clients respond to the opportunities created by AI. 

“We’re excited to welcome Justin to PwC. He brings outstanding market credibility, deep technology leadership experience and strong relationships across government and enterprise. Justin will play an important role working with our clients as they look to embed AI into their businesses and deliver meaningful transformation.”
