With more than 20 years of experience in dealing with issues surrounding public policy and international corporate governance, Dan will be responsible for coordinating the public policy activities of KPMG International - including engagement across the KPMG network - with key influencers including policy makers, academics, NGOs, multilateral organizations, the Global Public Policy Committee (GPPC) of the large six professional service networks, and other trade and professional bodies.

As Chairman of the OECD’s Business Advisory Committee on Corporate governance, a member of the Board of Governors of the International Corporate Governance Network and as a board member at the US Council for International Business, Dan brings a wealth of experience of both stakeholder engagement and policy development.

I am excited to join a firm that is in the vanguard of advancing trust in our capital markets. Given the many challenges in our policy and regulatory environment – from climate change reporting to the advent of artificial intelligence to a set of increasingly complex geopolitical conditions – I am honored and humbled to carry on the tremendous work of Stephen Allis. I am eager to get started.
