In his role as Chief People Officer at KPMG in the UK, Kevin has executive accountability for the firm’s Inclusion, Diversity and Equity strategy and policies, and has set clear expectations about the proportionality of all promotions, and the outcomes of performance reviews and reward processes. Since joining he has initiated a review to ensure that annual IDE targets and the associated plans are sufficiently stretching, and that KPMG in the UK are on target to achieve their publicly quoted gender targets. As well as requesting the organisation develop more ambitious gender targets that go beyond current 2022 goals, Kevin has also required a IDE review of all new policies being implemented as part of the transition to hybrid working, to ensure there will be no adverse gender impact. He has been a member of the KPMG Inclusive Leadership Board since starting at the firm, and along with the CEO and Chair sets the agenda for this group of external advisers.
