Announces Barry Salzberg as the next leader of the global organization, effective June 1, 2011
NEW YORK, April 7, 2011 - Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) announced today that Barry
Salzberg has been elected to the position of global chief executive officer,
DTTL. Salzberg will assume his new role and responsibilities on June 1, 2011,
the start of the new fiscal year.
Salzberg succeeds Jim Quigley, who is completing his term, and who will
transition into a senior client service role as a senior partner in the
Deloitte U.S. firm on June 1, 2011. Salzberg'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 DTTL worldwide network.
As the new DTTL CEO, Salzberg's responsibilities will encompass working
across a network of 53 member firms operating in 150 countries, with more
than 170,000 people worldwide. "I am humbled by the confidence that the
network has placed in my leadership during this historic time," said
Salzberg. "Over the years, I have worked closely with Jim Quigley and admired
his commitment to our strong global culture and shared values, which have
brought us to our preeminent position in the marketplace today. I look
forward to leading DTTL, helping grow the Deloitte network's businesses, and
maintaining the relentless focus on quality and client service that our
member firms worldwide consistently uphold."
During his more than 30-year tenure at the Deloitte U.S. firm, Salzberg,
57, has built an impressive record of success through a variety of leadership
roles. In 2007, he was elected to his current position as CEO of Deloitte LLP
in the United States, where he has balanced building the business with
growing talent through successful transactions like acquiring technology
consulting firm BearingPoint's government operations, and a relentless
investment in talent through initiatives like Deloitte University, a $300
million state-of-the-art learning and development facility opening later this
year in the United States.
Previously, Salzberg held the roles of U.S. managing partner, as well as
managing partner of Deloitte LLP's tax practice, where he increased its
market share significantly and received numerous awards and citations.
Salzberg joined Deloitte U.S. in 1977 and was admitted to the partnership in
1985.
Salzberg is a member of Deloitte's U.S. Board of Directors, the DTTL
Executive Committee, and the DTTL Board of Directors. He earned a Bachelor's
degree in accounting from Brooklyn College, a Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn
Law School, and a Master of Laws degree in taxation from the New York
University School of Law.
