Consultancy Deloitte New Zealand has appointed 12 new partners, effective from June 1.
In audit, assurance and reporting advisory, Auckland-based Jack Kilkenny and Wellington-based Meena Patel bring strong expertise in controls and digital assurance.
Within strategy, risk and transactions, Auckland-based Alyce Butler returns to Deloitte as a New Zealand and Netherlands alumna with deep insight into the food and agriculture sector, alongside Hamilton-based Trevor Manners, who specialises in infrastructure and capital projects across the asset lifecycle.
Tax and business advisory sees the promotion of Tauranga-based Alexis Tapsell and Auckland-based Jason Yang, both recognised for their work supporting corporates, private clients and high-growth technology businesses to achieve sustainable growth.
The largest group of appointments sits within technology and transformation. New partners include Auckland-based Kirsten Apolles, Holly Rennie, and Katie Evans.
Apolles brings deep Oracle Cloud and ERP transformation experience, while Rennie focuses on helping Deloitte’s financial services clients improve customer and commercial outcomes through technology‑enabled operating models. Evans supports businesses through complex change programmes, specialising in organisation design, change management and workforce transformation.
Wellington-based Matt Cooper and Jonathan Munden have complementary skills, with Cooper bringing global experience delivering complex ServiceNow transformation programmes, while Munden has expertise in leading technology-enabled change.
Christchurch-based Yvette Keys supports both public and private sector organisations through large‑scale change, leadership development and workforce transformation.
Deloitte New Zealand chief executive Mike Horne said the appointments mirrored both the strength of the firm’s talent pipeline and its focus on investing in capability, even in a challenging economic environment. “Our clients are navigating significant change as technology, sustainability and market dynamics continue to shift. These new partners have strengths that are key in helping clients cut through complexity and move forward with clarity and confidence.”
Alongside the partner appointments, 14 directors have also been promoted.
