René Schöb is the new Country Managing Partner of Mazars

Starting today, September 1, René Schöb is the new Country Managing Partner of Mazars Romania. He succeeds Jean-Pierre Vigroux, following his decision to retire from the professional life in the audit industry and focus on his own business activities.

René Schöb was Tax Partner and has been leading the Tax Advisory Department since September 2013, following the merger between Mazars and Adevaris, the firm that he represented as Managing Partner and co-founder. Thanks to the merger Mazars has strengthened its position in the top five players specializing in audit, tax, accounting, payroll and advisory in Romania.

René Schöb: “It is an honour, a responsibility and a challenge for me to follow Jean-Pierre’s leadership at Mazars. He is a landmark of the professional services’ development in the last 20 years in Romania. I thank Jean-Pierre and my partner colleagues for the trust they have in me. Expectations raised with regards to Mazars’ current stage of development in Romania are high as we continue to strengthen our market position following the recent merger. I am convinced that today’s changing economic environment creates many opportunities for us that we aim to take.”

Following the merger with Mazars, when he took over the lead of the Tax Advisory Department, René Schöb has reshaped and strengthened this line of business. During this period, Tax Advisory services increased significantly thanks to the client portfolio’s expansion in sectors such as financial services, manufacturing, real estate, logistics, FMCG, pharma, etc., as well as to the diversification in service offering.

The team has also been enlarged with a new Tax Partner following the arrival of EdwinWarmerdam, who is also heading the Mazars Dutch Desk, the new service launched for assisting the Dutch business community.
