Andreas Yiasemides has been appointed CEO of PwC Cyprus, effective July 1, 2026, with his term set to run until June 30, 2030. He succeeds Philippos Soseilos, who led the firm for over four years and oversaw its response to significant challenges including the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Yiasemides' appointment reflects continuity, as he joined PwC in 1999 and became a partner in 2016, holding key leadership roles before becoming CEO.

The transition comes amid rapid changes in the professional services sector driven by digital transformation, AI, and increased regulation. Yiasemides emphasized the importance of innovation, talent investment, and building trust with clients to maintain PwC Cyprus' strong industry position. He also highlighted AI as not just a technology challenge but a leadership and strategic issue critical to Cyprus's competitiveness, noting the island’s smaller market could be an advantage for faster adaptation and collaboration.

Yiasemides holds an Economics degree from the University of Manchester and professional accounting qualifications. His broad experience includes senior roles at Bank of Cyprus and positions on several important boards, positioning him well to steer PwC Cyprus through a period of continued evolution and growth.
