And it’s probably the biggest crop of new partners and principals in the firm’s history. Except for 2017, the size of each class has grown every year since we started covering partner and principal promotions in 2010: 233 in 2018, 212 in 2017, 226 in 2016 class, 201 in 2015, 180 in 2014, 157 in 2013, 165 in 2012, 136 in 2011, and 83 in 2010.
Here’s a look at PwC’s class of 2019 by the numbers:
- 131: The number of new partners; there are 118 new principals.
- 86: The number of new partners and principals in advisory, the most of any service line, followed by 79 in assurance, 78 in tax, and six in internal firm services.
- 72: The number of new partners and principals who are women, or 29% of the class of 2019.
- 42: The number of new partners and principals in New York City, the most of any location, followed by 19 in Chicago, 18 in Boston, 15 in Dallas, and 14 in McLean, VA.
- 9: The number of new partners and principals with the first name of Brian or Bryan.
- 2: The number of new partners and principals with the last name of González, Kennedy, O’Connor, Schmitt, or Stark.
- 1: The number of new principals with the last name of Thor.
