New CEO for Deloitte Global

NEW YORK, February 22, 2015

Deloitte announced that Punit Renjen, currently Deloitte US member firm chairman of the board, has been selected as Deloitte Global’s new chief executive officer.  

Renjen will assume the new role on June 1, the start of Deloitte Global’s new fiscal year.

The Deloitte network is composed of 47 member firms, operating in 150 countries, and employing more than 210,000 people worldwide.

“I am honoured to have been elected as Deloitte Global’s next CEO. It is a privilege to be part of an organization that delivers high quality services and innovative solutions to the best clients, develops the most talented professionals into leaders and does its part to improve the societies in which we operate,” said Renjen. “We are an organization led by a purpose – to make a positive, meaningful impact that matters to everyone Deloitte touches. I will do my best to serve the network by helping enable our leaders and people to fulfill their passion to make a difference.”      

Renjen succeeds Barry Salzberg, who will retire from Deloitte Global at the end of its fiscal year (May 31, 2015) and become a member of the full time faculty of Columbia Business School as a professor of professional practice. Salzberg also plans to serve on public company boards. Renjen’s leadership appointment is part of a rigorous and comprehensive nomination and member firm partner ratification process that occurs every four years and includes all member firms of the Deloitte worldwide network.

“I can think of no one better to lead Deloitte Global. Punit’s experience as chairman of our US firm—the largest and most complex in our network—combined with his 28-year career with Deloitte and strong core values— make Punit the perfect choice to lead Deloitte Global,” said Omar Fahoum, chairman and chief executive at Deloitte Middle East.

“Beyond serving as a leader in the US member firm, Punit brings unique perspectives on the global business environment, having a true multi-cultural career journey,” said Steve Almond, chairman. “I am excited to work with Punit as we continue to make significant investments to transform member firm services, including audit, to deliver high quality, meaningful results for clients and raise the bar for the entire profession.”

Prior to his role a US Chairman, Renjen served as chairman and CEO of Deloitte Consulting in the US. - TradeArabia News Service
