Punit Renjen took the helm Monday
as the new chief executive officer of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited
(Deloitte Global) and defined the global organization’s priorities, led
by driving a shared sense of purpose across a network operating in more
than 150 countries with more than 220,000 people.
“All of Deloitte’s stakeholders – clients, colleagues and the
communities in which we work – expect us to make an impact that matters
for them,” said Renjen.“That means we must commit to achieving clear
leadership in critical areas through very focused priorities.”
Renjen framed a set of strategic priorities, including increasing
investment to apply leading technology to serve clients across core
businesses of audit, tax, consulting, enterprise risk and financial
advisory services. Other top priorities include setting the standard for
quality around the world, employing “hyper collaboration” among the
network’s member firms to deliver global capabilities tailored to local
needs, and creating a distinct development experience to attract and
inspire talent.
In addition to driving delivery of exceptional core services to
clients across a range of industry sectors, Renjen plans to grow the
Deloitte network’s capabilities in areas such as cognitive technologies,
cloud computing, digital and social applications, cyber, risk, and
crisis services.
“Advanced technology is changing the way clients do business, and
maintaining our lead in capabilities is crucial to help them navigate
that change,” said Renjen. “In addition, we are committed to building
and maintaining trust in capital markets and confidence in business
institutions. We will do this by combining insights and innovation to
deliver fully integrated tax services, world-class innovation in audit,
and consulting services that deliver measurable impact.”
Linking a company’s core activities to a greater sense of purpose
has long been a passion for Renjen. Noted Renjen, “Increasingly,
companies are seeking ways to integrate social impact into their core
business, rather than relying on corporate citizenship programs alone.
This positive trend will help drive a sense of purpose; however, it is
important businesses take a broad view when thinking about impact to
include clients and employees, in addition to affecting the communities
in which they work and live.”
Renjen is the first Indian-born American CEO of the global office
of a leading professional services network. His 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. Most recently,
Renjen was Deloitte U.S. member firm Chairman of the Board since 2011.
