I am the Chief Executive Officer of BDO USA, LLP, and Chair of the Global Board of Directors of BDO International, Ltd., a leading global accounting and advisory organization. An American transplant, I had early aspirations of becoming a South African Air Force pilot. When those plans were derailed by my first pair of eyeglasses, I chased my next passion-helping businesses, and the people behind them, thrive everyday-and embarked on a lifelong career in professional services. The last and best two decades have been with BDO. I was elected CEO in 2012. I started my career providing accounting services for nonprofit organizations. To this day, I believe that success in business is defined first and foremost by purpose. We have clients in every industry who are changing the world, in small, large, and significant ways. Our purpose is to help them achieve their business and financial goals through exceptional client service. We are successful in our purpose because of our people and our culture. We believe client engagements should be relationship-driven, matching our people and resources to the complex and individual needs of every client. Our core values define who we are and where we’re going. The universe of professional services has changed dramatically from the world I first entered in the early 1990s. As the pace of technological change accelerates, digital is permanently stitched into the fabric of the global economy and is changing the way we all do business. It is an era of transformation-and BDO is also transforming. We are grabbing innovation by the ‘horns’, constantly evolving our services and how we deliver them to meet our clients’ needs and exceed their expectations. People who know, know BDO-but you might not know everything we’re capable of. Read more about our people, purpose, and best-in-class service here: https://www.bdo.com/about
