In addition to the BSO role, Niek was recently appointed Global Head of Tax, effective 1 July. This dual appointment reflects the strategic alignment between BSO and Tax \u2013 two service lines connected by shared priorities around operational excellence, cross-border delivery, and responsiveness to evolving client needs. With dedicated leadership in both areas, this combined role creates an opportunity to enhance collaboration and consistency across BDO\u2019s global services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commenting on his appointment, Niek adds: \u201cI\u2019m honoured to take on this role and continue building on the strong foundation Albert has established. As client expectations evolve and our service lines become increasingly connected, I look forward to working with our BSO and Tax teams to deliver consistent, high-quality solutions across borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Albert began his career with BDO in 1979 and has held several senior leadership roles, including Regional Managing Partner of Assurance Services and Board Member in the USA, Regional CEO of the Americas, and Global Head of BSO.
