Promotions in 2018 and rise in technology-driven profiles
This year saw a total of 390 people promoted, roughly one-quarter of evaluated staff. This directly reflects the firm’s ambition to be an “architect of the future” as it continues to invest in new profiles with strong capabilities in technology.
KPMG Luxembourg’s Head of People, Thierry Ravasio, commented: “Our investment in technology and technology-driven profiles is starting to pay-off. The promotions this year reflect the talent in our business and the growing demand for our technology-related services. Our People are shaping their own career paths with true intrapreneurial spirit, as they see the firm as truly innovative. We are proud to see such passion and diversity in the insight and expertise of our people which is aligned with the People strategy we’ve developed.”
