Shawn Panson

I’m passionate about driving innovation and collaboration through AI and technology—empowering our people and clients to achieve growth and make an impact.

As PwC’s US Assurance Transformation Leader, I reimagine how we deliver assurance services to clients—empowering teams with AI-enabled tools, streamlined processes, and innovative thinking.

I’ve spent the last 30 years providing private and public companies with audit, tax and business advisory services across a broad range of industries including technology, entertainment, media, professional sports, telecommunications and retail and consumer.  

Most recently, I served as the leader of PwC’s US Private practice for 10 years where I helped privately held businesses, family enterprises, high-growth startups and PE-backed companies achieve their goals. I am also a former member of the PwC US Board of Partners, and I’m proud to continue to help shape the firm’s strategy and drive impact for clients.
