KPMG in the UK has today confirmed the reappointment of Bina Mehta as Chair, following the firm’s partnership voting overwhelmingly in favour of her continuation in role.
Bina was first appointed as non-executive UK Chair in February 2021, following the firm’s move to a new governance model separating the roles of its Chair and Chief Executive. In November that year, Bina was then elected to continue in role until the end of February 2024.
In a process overseen by KPMG UK’s Nominations Committee, both the Board and partnership have now voted in favour of Bina’s continuation in role for a further two-year term to end on 31 March 2026.
Bina has worked at KPMG for over 30 years, specialising in M&A and Restructuring and advising leading private and listed international clients. She is an avid supporter of fast-growth businesses and in 2022 was awarded an MBE for her working supporting female entrepreneurs and services to trade investment. Bina is also an Honorary Fellow in Entrepreneurship at Cambridge Judge Business School.
KPMG UK’s Board members comprise of 44% women, 22% ethnic minority and 22% low socio-economic background.

And I remain passionate about supporting our colleagues, clients and the communities we serve across the UK to tackle the complex issues of today.”
