The Deloitte Global Board of Directors addresses Deloitte Global’s most important governance matters, including approval of the global strategy, annual budget and investment plan, major policies, major transactions, and the selection of the Deloitte Global CEO and Deloitte Global Chair. In addition, the Deloitte Global Board provides oversight of and support for the operation and performance of management.
The Global Board includes representation from the majority of Deloitte firms and reflects the geographic reach of Deloitte’s operations. Diversity—including that of gender, race and ethnicity, thought and life experience, and professional background, as well as skills and capabilities—is considered in the selection of individuals, by their member firms, to these positions. The Deloitte Global Board has 17 members, with women making up 41% of the Board (up from 35% in FY2024). Anna Marks, Chair of the Deloitte Global Board of Directors, began her tenure on 1 June 2023. The elected term is for four years.
All Deloitte Global Board members have full and active roles within their own member firms/geographies, with the exception of the Global Chair and Global CEO, both of which are full-time committed roles and consequently do not retain any other active positions in the organization. No Deloitte Global Board members hold any significant positions or commitments in other commercial organizations.
The Deloitte Global Board has several committees to support its oversight and governance role and, from time to time, leverages other structures, such as working groups, to provide oversight on specific prevailing topics or strategic matters. The current committees and working groups include the:
The Deloitte Global Chair and Deputy Chair receive input from the Deloitte Global Independent Non-Executive (INE) Advisory Council. The group provides advice and insights on a variety of matters including emerging global trends, strategic priorities, technology, purpose, talent and diversity, equity and inclusion. The Council also provides advice and insights on planning, public policy, quality, risk and regulatory matters, and broader stakeholder engagement.
The Deloitte Global Chair and Board also regularly engage with the Deloitte Community of Chairs, a broad group of chairs representing almost all the geographies in which Deloitte operates. Through the Community of Chairs, there is good engagement and discussion between the Deloitte Global Board and Deloitte leaders around the world, across a range of strategic governance matters.
