Deloitte Ireland announces two senior partner appointments as it accelerates its growth agenda
December 2025
Deloitte Ireland has confirmed the appointment of Aziz Ahmad and Vikram Kunnath as partners, reinforcing the firm’s long-term focus on bringing experienced, sector-informed leadership to areas where clients face growing strategic and operational complexity. Both appointments will add further depth to Deloitte’s consultative businesses supporting the firm’s broader investment in talent and form part of a measured, ongoing build-out of the firm’s leadership team.
With 18 new partners appointed in the past ten months and further expansion planned, Deloitte Ireland is facing into a new year of increased demand and continued growth, focusing on always staying a step ahead of what clients need next.
Aziz Ahmad will lead the firm’s Valuations offering within our Advisory business. A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, Aziz brings more than 20 years of international experience to the firm. He previously worked across the Middle East before relocating to Ireland in 2016 and brings extensive experience across complex valuation topics, in technology, life sciences and aviation finance, supporting multinational clients on cross-border IP migrations, acquisition accounting, tax authority reviews, and valuations linked to emerging digital and AI-enabled business models.
I’m really looking forward to working with colleagues across Advisory and the wider firm to build a valuations capability that is technically strong, commercially grounded and aligned to how clients are making decisions today,
explains Ahmad.
Valuation work increasingly sits at the heart of strategy, regulation and financial reporting. Deloitte has the scale and diversity of expertise needed to do that really well, and I’m very excited to be joining the team at this crucial stage in its growth.
Vikram Kunnath will join as a partner in the T&T business, focusing on Life Sciences. With 25 years’ global experience, he has worked across Asia, the Middle East, the US and Europe in senior roles at EY, Cognizant, Tata Consultancy Services, GE Healthcare and Siemens. His work has centred on the global life sciences manufacturing and supply chain area, technology-enabled transformation, operating model change and large-scale delivery within major life sciences organisations.
The life sciences manufacturing sector is moving through a period of very fast technological and scientific advancement,
points out Vikram.
Organisations are making foundational decisions about data, digital platforms, IT OT convergence and Industry 5.0 capability. Joining Deloitte provides an opportunity to help clients navigate that shift with a balanced view of technology, regulation, manufacturing needs and long-term performance.
Harry Goddard, CEO, Deloitte Ireland says the appointments reflect the deliberate way the organisation is sharpening further the leadership of the firm.
Aziz and Vikram both bring a unique approach shaped by deep experience in their fields and an always challenging mindset. As the number one professional services firm globally, we continue to challenge our own thinking and stay one step ahead for what clients need next. Our clients are dealing with more interconnected decisions, more scrutiny and faster cycles of change, which means the quality of our insight and the depth of our experience matter greatly. These strategic appointments enhance our ability to support that work, and I want to extend a very warm welcome to both Aziz and Vikram.
