I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
KPMG is in the process of electing a new global chair and CEO to succeed Bill Thomas, whose term ends on September 30, 2026. Under Thomas, KPMG's revenue grew from $26.4bn in 2017 to $39.8bn in 2025, despite facing significant regulatory challenges. Candidates for the position include Jon Holt, KPMG UK’s chief executive, and Gary Wingrove, the global COO. The firm is navigating a transformative period with pressures from AI advancements and private equity interest in the sector. KPMG UK is set to release its financial results soon, amid a competitive landscape with other Big Four firms showing recovery in revenues.
