New partner cements PwC’s expertise
in the Security and Technology sectors


PwC welcomes the admission of Colin Slater as Security and Technology Partner to the New Zealand firm.

Colin has more than 15 years of experience in IT security and consulting. From a background of developing encryption and real-time software in the marine surveying industry, Colin has worked in diverse areas of systems development and consulting including holding senior positions in the National Bank, Sytec, the Risk Advisory Group and PwC.

PwC’s Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Hassall says, “It’s a case of coming home for Colin and we are delighted he has decided to re-join the firm. Colin left PwC eight years ago to establish Securify NZ Ltd and he quickly became a leading provider of specialist IT security and risk-management services. Colin brings that knowledge and experience back with him to the firm and it means PwC can fulfil its focus on growing our security and technology capabilities.”

New Security and Technology partner, Colin Slater says, “I am excited about this next stage of my professional career and development. Securify NZ Ltd will merge with PwC taking the firm into a new realm of providing not only risk and assurance services but also the practical and proven skills to design, QA and deploy security, infrastructure and applications in a safe and technology-agnostic way.”

Colin’s return to PwC also means the Securify team will work with New Zealand’s leading professional services firm as technical security specialists, based in Wellington.

Bruce Hassall says, “Add the expertise of Colin and his team to our already talented pool of people at PwC and we are now well positioned to ensure our clients are ahead of the game and no longer have to worry about costly IT security breaches.”
