Chairman and CEO

Our entire business is based on our people—their passion, skills and commitment to excellence and integrity. We bring our Values to bear through Accelerate 2025, our strategy rooted in growing and supporting a diverse workforce and inclusive work environment.”

Elena Richards
Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer

We support our peoples’ journeys through their personal and professional lives. Together, we’re fostering a workplace where all our people have access to meaningful benefits, communities and career development opportunities that help them reach their full potential. When we truly see and understand one another, we can better advocate for and meet our people’s needs with a tailored experience.

From The Company

KPMG U.S. is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive work environment that prioritizes people, enabling everyone to grow, thrive and reach their highest potential.

As we approach the midpoint of our Accelerate 2025 strategy, we are continuing to make progress toward our DEI goals. Our combined partner/MD representation from underrepresented groups is 42.6% as of fiscal year-end (FYE) 2022—a nearly 3% increase since FYE 2020. To reach our goal of 50% by 2025, we continue to prepare future partners and MDs, establish diverse interview panels and candidate slates and support our people as they self-identify. Today, more than 50% of new U.S. partners from 2023 promotions are from underrepresented groups and our class of newly promoted MDs reflects the largest representation at our firm of people of color—particularly women of color and Asian professionals.

To enable progress toward our goal of a 50% increase in our Black and Latinx workforce, we’ve expanded our network of HBCUs and HSIs to assist in recruitment. Targeting at least 9.3% Black and 10.7% Latinx workforce representation by 2025, we know our efforts must go further than our pipeline. Our retention efforts include credentialing work experiences, an ecosystem of support from people managers and mentors, inclusive and culture-focused learning and development and Business Resource Group engagement.
