Two ex-KPMG partners, who set up their own consultancy after leaving the Big Four accounting firm over its handling of complaints of bullying, have lured two former executives from their old employer to the new venture.

Maggie Brereton and Ina Kjaer set up Eos Deal Advisory in September following six months of gardening leave. They have now appointed Shilpa Thanki-Green as Eos’s chief operating officer and Tomas Zalagenas as chief financial officer.
