Sundash Jassi is a Chartered Accountant and senior assurance professional with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), one of the world's leading professional services firms. Since graduating from the University of Birmingham, she has spent more than two decades with PwC in Birmingham, providing audit and advisory services to organisations across a broad range of sectors including manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, education and, more recently, financial services. Her extensive experience in governance, risk, assurance and financial oversight brings valuable expertise to the organisations she serves.

Alongside her professional career, Sundash has been actively involved in the charitable sector. She serves as a Non-Executive Director of Stratford-upon-Avon Town Trust, an independent charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for local residents. In that role she has chaired the Audit and Governance Committee, providing independent scrutiny and advice on governance, risk management and organisational effectiveness. The position has enabled her to contribute directly to community initiatives while bringing the perspective and discipline of a large professional services organisation to a local charity.

Growing up in a deprived area of the Midlands, Sundash did not have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, and music tuition was not available through her school. Nevertheless, she developed a lasting appreciation for music through community events and performances, first in Birmingham and later after moving to Warwickshire. She continues to enjoy discovering new musical experiences and retains a personal ambition to learn the piano in the future.

A long-time admirer of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) and its commitment to making world-class music accessible to diverse audiences across the Midlands, Sundash joined the CBSO Board of Trustees in 2019. She continues to serve as a Trustee and member of the Audit & Risk Committee, where her professional background in audit, governance and financial services supports the Board in maintaining strong financial stewardship, effective risk management and robust governance practices.

Through her combination of commercial expertise, charitable governance experience and commitment to community engagement, Sundash contributes a valuable perspective to the CBSO’s strategic development and long-term sustainability.
