Andrew Yates has put together a squad—six men (including Yates) and six women—who will act as his right hand when he takes over as CEO of KPMG Australia on July 1. One of the members of KPMG Australia’s new National Executive Committee is a recent refugee of PwC, according to a press release:
External hire, Dorothy Hisgrove, joins KPMG as National Managing Partner – People & Inclusion. Her most recent role was Partner and Chief People Officer at PwC Australia, and she has held previous executive positions at organisations including AFL [Australian Football League], Australia Post and NAB.
Here’s what she had to say on LinkedIn about joining the Australian House of Klynveld:
Hisgrove spent about four and a half years at (non-iconic firm, apparently) PwC Australia as partner and chief people officer, calling herself a “values-led leader who brings a deep understanding of core business drivers and is passionate about building great teams to enable organizations to transform” and who “consistently delivers strong results across profitable growth, customer, and people.”
Besides Hisgrove and Yates, the other 10 members of the new KPMG Australia NEC are:
| Tanya Gilerman | National Managing Partner – Risk Management, Chief Risk Officer |
| Ian Hancock | National Managing Partner – Management Consulting & Investments |
| David Heathcote | National Managing Partner – Deals, Tax & Legal |
| Amanda Hicks | National Managing Partner – Client Experience & Brand |
| Eileen Hoggett | National Managing Partner – Audit, Assurance & Risk Consulting |
