Big Four consulting firm PwC Australia has today (1 July) admitted 29 new people to its partnership, bringing the total number of new partners to 34 for the 12-month period.
The admissions come after 76 partners retired from the firm on 1 July.
PwC on 1 January 2023 announced 67 new partner admissions, which at the time took the total number of partners to 937, which was a significant increase from previous 1 January admissions and the largest intake ever announced by the firm at that time of year.
PwC Australia CEO Kevin Burrowes says amid the strong cohort of candidates today, the new partners bring experience in areas such as private capital, financial services, consumer markets, as well as energy, utilities, and mining.
Burrowes says the new admissions will join a partnership driven to help clients capitalise on the opportunities presented by global trends such as artificial intelligence and climate change.
“Industries as we know them are changing, with global pressures such as inflation and geopolitical tension leading to supply chain disruptions. This presents both a challenge and opportunity for businesses seeking to diversify or capitalise on the value that’s being created as a result,” he says.
“These new partners have demonstrated that they are well equipped to help our clients navigate this change, utilising the latest technological advancements and innovations.
“They’ve shown they can think outside the box to create exciting solutions for clients, which tap into new value pools or drive productivity gains. I welcome them warmly to our partnership, and look forward to seeing their contributions, as we strive to become the pre-eminent professional services firm.”
The new partners are in addition to the admissions of Kerryl Bradshaw (Advisory), Rob Kopel (AI Centre of Excellence), Karen Lonergan (Chief People Officer), Nick P’ng (Advisory), and Jason McLean (Advisory) who joined the partnership across the past financial year.
