Global competency centre

The aim of the Global Competency Centre (GCC) is to share knowledge and research carried out both by PricewaterhouseCoopers and external parties in the valuation consulting arena: see our grant programme.

The Centre is run by a group of specialists from Valuation and Strategy led by Wim Holterman from the Amsterdam office and supported by an Advisory Board.
