BrazilKPMG Saudi Arabia appoints Oleg Ladnev as senior director in Deals
KPMG veteran and partner Oleg Ladnev has relocated from the firm’s Russian member firm to Saudi Arabia, where he joins the leadership team of the Deals practice.
Oleg Ladnev has been with KPMG for over two decades, specialising in transactions and restructuring services. Based out of Moscow, he has led a large number of engagements helping clients with closing mergers and acquisitions, as well as other financial transactions.
His track record spans multiple regions, such as the Middle East and North Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, North America, and South America.
Now based in Riyadh, Ladnev will help KPMG expand its presence in the deals landscape, primarily focussing on due diligence work in the oil & gas, power & utilities, and mining sectors.
“Oleg will strengthen our team in the Kingdom and greatly improve our capability to advise key clients particularly in the energy and power & utilities sectors,” stated Sharukh Dumasia, Head of Deals at KPMG in Saudi Arabia.
On his appointment, Ladnev said: “I am delighted to take on my new role within Deals. I am excited by the changes that the vibrant Vision 2030 will bring and eager to play my part in KPMG’s continued efforts to help our clients and the Kingdom meet the Vision’s objectives.”
The move to Saudi Arabia is Ladnev’s second tenure outside of Russia. Earlier, between 2011 and 2013, he relocated to KPMG’s team in London where he was part of the Energy & Natural Resources transaction services team.
