How has Deloitte invested in you as a leader?
Deloitte has invested in me as a leader through training, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to be a leader, and opportunities, by placing me in challenging roles designed to enhance my leadership skills.
What’s been the most interesting, challenging, or surprising about your role within Deloitte?
The surprising lengths to which people will go to plan, perpetrate and attempt to conceal their transgressions. During my years of performing investigations on behalf of Deloitte clients, my teams have uncovered bribes paid to government officials in Asia, Brazil, Mexico and Eastern Europe, ghost sales through fake brick and mortar stores in China, theft of lucrative businesses in the Caribbean and the Middle East to name a few. The issues uncovered caused many businesses considerable harm. For a few, the harm was irreputable. The motivations of those ran the gamut from ego to greed. However, many simply saw an opportunity and exploited it. In one case, the suspects behavior was completely inexplicable. In short, my career at Deloitte has been a fascinating journey into the human psyche.
How do you connect your personal purpose to Deloitte’s purpose?
Whatever one does, applied consistently, produces outsized results. My purpose is to simply be and do my best in each facet of my life. This philosophy, is not unlike Deloitte’s purpose; whether applied to people, clients and/or the community, the outcome produces an impact that matters and, over time, the impact grows in significance.
