(Alliance News) - Business consultant Kin & Carta PLC on Thursday said the former chief executive of Deloitte Consulting is to become its chair later this year.
John Kerr will become non-executive chair-designate from Monday next week, before stepping up to the full time role at Kin & Carta's annual general meeting in November, succeeding Richard Stillwell, whose departure was announced last November.
Kerr was CEO of Deloitte's consultancy arm between 2011 and 2015, and served as global vice-chair between 2016 and 2018.
Chief Executive J Schwan said: "We set out on this search to find a chair with deep experience scaling technology service businesses on a global scale. We found all of that and more with John. John is a pioneer in the business transformation arena.
"His experience building and scaling Deloitte Digital fits perfectly with Kin & Carta's plans to build a business which addresses the growing demand for digital transformation. He will be the keystone of our invigorated board."
"I would like to thank Richard Stillwell for the commitment he has given to this business over the past 13 years. He has offered calm and intentional leadership to the board during a transformational time and we will miss his contribution greatly," Schwan added.
Kin & Carta shares were 0.5% lower on Thursday at a price of 106.50 pence each.
