As a member of KPMG’s Global Board and Executive Committee, Honson has helped ensure ASPAC’s voice was well represented on the global stage, laying a solid foundation for continued growth for the region
Honson leaves the ASPAC region in an incredibly strong position, and we owe him our deep appreciation for everything he has done for KPMG.
