David Bettesworth, who has more than 10 years’ experience in financial services and specifically in investment banking, has joined Deloitte as a partner from KPMG where he was responsible for the Investment Banking sector with its Information Risk Management service line.  David has worked with and advised many major investment banks including Morgan Stanley, ING and Credit Suisse on technology risk, security and IT audit issues.
