Matiana Behrends, new partner at Grant Thornton Argentina for Advisory Services

Focused on bringing disruptive and innovative solutions that offer organizations new perspectives to face the challenges of the current market, Grant Thornton Argentina appoints Matiana Behrends as Partner for its Advisory division.

The executive, who will take over her new role starting in January 2024, has a degree in Education from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), and  an MBA from the University of Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT). In 2004 Behrends founded Syllabus, a company dedicated to the development of learning materials to achieve optimal training levels.

“This appointment renews my professional challenge and encourages me to continue working with great commitment, alongside a solid group of professionals at Grant Thornton Argentina. I am convinced that the organization has been a space of opportunities for me and my entire team,” Matiana said. “I am fully confident that we have a prosperous path ahead of us in which we will generate synergies to improve our clients' business processes, and we will promote new products and services.”

 

Human Capital is the main resource for business success:

Fernando Fucci, Managing Partner of the world's leading organization in auditing, taxes and consulting, highlighted: “Matiana's appointment comes at a key moment to enhance our consulting services in Human Capital, at the same time that it will help us strengthen the positioning of the company within the industry. On the other hand, with this appointment we reaffirm our commitment to the inclusion of women in our partnership, aiming for gender parity in the medium term.”

Alejandro Chiappe, Leading Partner for Advisory Services, commented: “We are deeply convinced that the incorporation of Matiana to the Board of Grant Thornton Argentina represents an important step in the firm's strategic growth plans, strengthening the division's broad service proposal, both in Argentina and Peru. During this time, she has not only contributed to the generation and enhancement of various initiatives, imbuing her actions with a unique passion and conviction, but she has also inspired her team to unleash their potential and achieve their objectives".

Grant Thornton's Human Capital division is a team of professionals who provide services to individuals and organizations throughout the entire relationship between the employee and the employer. The way a company cultivates and develops its organizational capabilities makes the difference between subsistence and extraordinary achievements.
