He commented “Against the background of continued worldwide recession, DFK has reported great results. I have been very impressed by the partners I have met and their commitment to meeting the needs of clients with international operations - so I am not surprised by these results. I relish the challenge of contributing to the further growth of such a dynamic international Association".
