KPMG announces new partners for 2011 

Appointments reflect a commitment to client service and industry excellence

1 July 2011 - KPMG today announced the appointment of new partners for 2011; half who were promoted to the role and half who joined the partnership from senior roles in industry. They work in a wide range of areas and industries across the firm including the fast-growing Advisory division spanning risk consulting through to management consulting; Audit, Tax, Private Enterprise and industries ranging from energy and natural resources through to healthcare.

"The high number of our partnership promotions reflects KPMG’s commitment to provide outstanding career opportunities to high performers," said CEO, Geoff Wilson.

 

"We also welcomed many senior executives from industry to the firm as partners, testimony that KPMG’s capabilities and service offerings are developed and managed by leaders who have personal understanding of, and experience in, industries and clients we serve," Mr Wilson added.

 

Most of the partners who joined from industry are in KPMG’s Advisory division, reflecting the growing need for excellence in business performance and information technology capability. 

 

"Advisory is the fastest growing division in the firm and we are committed to ensuring we have the best leaders on board to meet the changing needs of our clients. Our clients want to work with a firm that can objectively assist them to realise business and organisational success while properly assessing the risk framework locally and globally. The expertise our new partners bring to our firm and our clients is exceptional," said Australian Chairman, Michael Andrew.
