John Kerr, former global CEO, consulting at Deloitte Digital, has been appointed chairman of agency Kin + Carta.
Kerr will take on the role of chairman in November at the company’s annual general meeting, where he will take over from current chairman Richard Stillwell.
The Deloitte veteran has previously served as global vice chairman at Deloitte Consulting, and also currently serves as chairman at financial services firm LCM Partners.
Kerr said: “I have spent my entire career advising global businesses on how best to position themselves for growth. Latterly, at Deloitte Digital we created the world’s leading digital transformation brand. Kin + Carta is extremely well-positioned to be a leader in this market and I’m excited to be joining such an agile and dynamic business. I look forward to working with the new leadership team and the rest of the board as we move forward with this strategy.”
J Schwan, CEO at Kin + Carta, said the company looked for a chairman with deep expertise in scaling technology service businesses on a global scale. “We found all of that and more with John. He 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.”
