Deloitte Global Board of Directors

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 member 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 35% of the Board (down from 38% in FY2022). 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 CEO and Chair. The Chair is a full-time committed role and consequently does 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:

  • Audit, Finance & Investment Committee (AFIC)
  • Purpose, Sustainability & Culture Committee (PSCC)
  • Risk & Ethics Committee (REC)
  • Stewardship Committee (SC)
  • Transformation Committee (TC)
  • Geopolitics Working Group (GWG)
  • CEO Nominating Committee (currently inactive)
  • Succession Planning Committee (currently inactive)

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 strategy, 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 across a range of board matters between the Deloitte Global Board and Deloitte leaders around the world.

Delia has enjoyed a remarkable career with Deloitte. She was appointed a Director in Tax in June 2004 and has occupied numerous leadership roles over her tenure including:

• In June 2008 she was appointed as Business Unit leader of Global Employer Services (GES) in the Tax & Legal Business.

Delia was part of the UK NGO called Pilotlight during her time working in London. This organisation assisted other NGO’s with streamlining their strategies.
