Quality remains the cornerstone of who we are, and we will continue to focus on driving greater quality to our clients, our communities, and our alumni
Bob Moritz
I’m looking forward to begin my
tenure, especially during these challenging economic times.
It’s my pleasure to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you, our alumni community. Recently, I have been elected by my fellow partners as PwC’s U.S. chairman and senior partner for a four-year term. As some of you may know, I have led the Assurance practice since 2006, previously served as managing partner of the New York office, and prior to that, I led the financial services practice. I am honored to succeed Dennis Nally, who after seven and a half years of leading the US firm will begin a four-year term as global chairman of the PwC network.
As I look ahead to next year, I know we need to continue to bring the best of PwC to the marketplace in an economy that remains unsettled. We’ve laid a lot of groundwork this past year in preparation for what we recognize will be an even more challenging year to come. For my part, I’m looking forward to beginning my tenure, as I see these challenges leading to more opportunities for our clients and PwC.
Quality remains the cornerstone of who we are, and we will continue to focus on bringing even greater quality to our clients, our communities and our alumni. We’ll continue to provide you updates on what’s happening with PwC and your fellow alums through publications like Keyword and our monthly electronic newsletter. We want to make sure we help you stay connected and informed on topics that are relevant to you and your business. We will also keep you informed about the services and tools available to you to raise your own game, so that you can develop to your fullest potential and grow as we grow.
This energetic issue of Keyword concentrates on issues specific to the energy, utilities and mining industries but does so with a consideration for hot topics like the roles and responsibilities of boards of directors, the importance of workplace diversity, and today’s difficult employment picture. Our alumni work in a wide variety of industries, and I am encouraged by the collective steps we all are taking to solve some of today’s thorniest issues. I am happy to see PwC alums rolling up their sleeves to lead.
I hope you will find this issue of Keyword both entertaining and insightful, and I look forward to building on our relationship over these next four years.
Regards,
Chairman and Senior Partner, PwC US firm
