Global professional services firm KPMG has appointed two new Advisory partners in the United Arab Emirates.

Fresh partners Nagaraj Uchil and Rajiv Maloo both serve KPMG Lower Gulf (KPMG’s organisation for the UAE and Oman markets) and have also both been promoted from within the firm’s ranks.

“We congratulate Nagaraj and Rajiv on this key milestone in their careers, and we wish them continued success as they join the leadership of our firm,” said Emilio Pera, CEO and Senior Partner at KPMG Lower Gulf.
