Leadership and governance

Trust is the foundation upon which Deloitte is built. Since our founding in 1845, upholding trust has been a core principle that guides everything we do. As auditors and advisors to organisations and governments worldwide, we understand that earning and maintaining trust is critical. We aim to continually strengthen clients' trust in us by living our shared values and our purpose.

Strong and effective governance is vital to ensure we deliver on our promises, operate our business ethically, balance the interests of stakeholders and serve the public interest. As a purpose-led organisation, Deloitte is also thoughtful about the company we keep and carefully adheres to responsible business practices.

EMEA Executive

The EMEA Executive brings immense depth and breadth of experience. Each of our leaders demonstrates the passion, vision and qualities needed to lead EMEA, while collectively shaping strategy, culture and capabilities across the region.

EMEA Board

The EMEA Board oversees critical governance issues. Their responsibilities include approving the firm's regional strategy, annual budget, investment plan, major transactions, and selecting the CEO and Chair for EMEA. The Board also provides oversight and support for management operations and performance.

The Board has proportionate representation with its members, reflecting the geographic scope of operations. Diversity in gender, life experience, professional background and skills is central to board selection. As of 1 June 2026, the EMEA Board comprises the Chair, Deputy Chair and CEO plus 18 Board members and one Deloitte Global observer.
