EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS) Spain has reached 1,000 professionals at its Málaga-based centre, a milestone that consolidates its growth and reinforces the centre’s strategic role within the global EY GDS network. Since its opening in 2022, the centre has experienced steady growth, driven by demand for technology, digital and consulting capabilities for international projects.
Of the total workforce, 500 professionals belong to the Consulting area, which has become the centre’s main driver of growth. Alongside Consulting, the Málaga-based EY GDS centre hosts Audit, Tax, and Strategy and Transactions (EY-Parthenon) teams, supporting clients across multiple sectors and regions, and collaborating with teams from other countries in highly specialised and multicultural environments.
“Reaching 1,000 professionals is a clear sign that we are delivering excellent service to our global clients from Málaga and that our commitment to Andalusia as a key region for the future of EY GDS Spain is the right decision,” says María Luz Aguilera López, Director of the EY GDS Spain centre.
“This milestone confirms that the steps that we have taken are the right ones. Our commitment to Málaga and Andalusia is not new: we continue to grow steadily, consolidating capabilities, strengthening our teams and reinforcing our presence in the region.”
Chhavi Agarwal, Director of Global Integration at the EY GDS Spain centre, described the achievement as “a highly significant milestone that highlights EY GDS Spain’s solid growth, maturity and credibility within EY’s global network. It reflects our ability to attract, develop and retain diverse talent, while continuing to deliver high-quality services on a large scale. But, above all, it demonstrates the strength of our culture and the ongoing commitment of our teams to excellence and collaboration.”
She added that “it clearly reinforces EY GDS’s long-term commitment to Málaga as a strategic location. This growth confirms our confidence in local talent, in the city’s technology ecosystem and its role as a key hub supporting EY’s global priorities. It also highlights our intention to continue investing in Málaga and contributing positively to the local community and economy.”
Talent, development and international reach
EY GDS Spain in Málaga has established itself as an attractive environment for professionals specialising in technology, data and analytics, SAP, business consulting, cybersecurity, financial crime and languages, who are seeking to develop their careers in international projects without leaving Andalusia.
The employee value proposition is based on continuous professional development, including training and certification plans through EY Badges, as well as coaching and mentoring programmes, and the opportunity to participate in global projects with multicultural teams. In addition, the company offers flexible working arrangements and a reduced working schedule during the summer, along with a strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and wellbeing.
The centre also actively participates in corporate volunteering and social impact initiatives, strengthening its ties with the local community.
Consulting, a driver of growth
With 500 professionals, the Consulting area plays a key role in the positioning of EY GDS Spain. From Málaga, projects are delivered in technology consulting, digital transformation, data and analytics, cloud, financial crime and cybersecurity operations, among other areas, using agile methodologies and multidisciplinary teams.
“Consulting is a strategic pillar within EY GDS Spain, with more than 500 professionals working from Málaga on projects related to technology, risk, data, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity for international clients,” says Grzegorz Pabian, Consulting Leader for EY GDS Spain. “We also provide an environment where talent can build long-term careers, from entry-level roles to leadership positions.”
Looking ahead
In the coming years, EY GDS Spain expects to continue expanding its team in Málaga, strengthening and broadening capabilities across all service areas while investing in new technologies such as generative AI, cloud, cybersecurity, data and intelligent automation. The goal is to further reinforce the centre’s role as a leading global hub within the EY GDS international network, fostering sustainable growth and talent development.
