London/New York | KPMG has selected Gary Wingrove as its next global chief executive, with the former head of its Australia business beating UK boss Jon Holt in the race to lead the 276,000-person firm, according to people familiar with the matter.
The big four accounting firm’s global board met in late February to discuss the candidates and recommended Wingrove, who is currently global chief operating officer of the $US40 billion-revenue ($56 billion) operation, after an anonymous vote.
