ANTWERP - Grant Thornton, the business advisor with expertise in audit, accountancy, tax & legal and business advice, has appointed a new Advisory Partner, Els Hostyn. Her appointment brings the total number of partners within the organisation to 26.
Els Hostyn (°1965), expert in internal audit, internal control, forensic and risk management, is becoming a partner within the Advisory-department. She has over 30 years of experience, including 18 years at KPMG, where she was a partner for Risk Consulting. At Grant Thornton, Els will contribute to the further development of Advisory related services, not only in terms of risk management but also in terms of improving the organisation and its processes.
Els Hostyn explains: “Our customers face many challenges. We are not only confronted with major changes in the field of technology, digitalisation and increasing regulation. Increased competition, pressure on costs and globalization also pose increasing risks. Together with my team, I want to support our customers in dealing with these challenges.”
“The appointment of Els is a concrete example of our desire to further specialise", says Koert Verbruggen, CEO of Grant Thornton Belgium. "We are investing very specifically to further expand our Advisory services. In this way we can assist our customers even further to arm themselves against the challenges of tomorrow.”

We always try to provide pragmatic solutions to our client's problems, and to turn challenges into real opportunities. Providing quality advice at a fair price is also the challenge Els will be facing.”
