Bio
Ian Dimmick
I worked with Pradeep for many years at RWE npower / Innogy and was always highly impressed with his professionalism and pragmatic approach to all aspects of audit. Whether focused on the more technical IT aspects of an engagement or wider business implications and risks, Pradeep consistently ensured the best outcome for the company. Pradeep imbued his style and approach into his team, ensuring there was always high value obtained from any audit activity.

I worked with Pradeep in the Internal Audit Department of RWE npower. During that time Pradeep continuously demonstrated his in-depth knowledge of both the Retail and Generation business as well as the wider utilities Industry as a whole. His experience and skill in planning and executing complex audit assignments was an invaluable asset to the teams he managed. His understanding of risk and control frameworks and their significance to both departmental and strategic success ensured that issues and risks were communicated and escalated promptly and with a considered view of their impact both locally and on the wider business. I can thoroughly recommend Pradeep as both a Risk and Audit Professional, with expertise in many corporate disciplines, comfortable at both operational and board level.
