New York-based IPA 100 firm KPMG LLP announced its next national sector leaders, who will advance the firm’s strategy for delivering solutions tailored to the unique challenges facing companies across industries.
“The C-suite continues to be tested by near-term technological and operational disruption amidst longer-term structural changes, but the implications for strategy and execution are almost always industry and sector-specific,” said Tim Walsh, KPMG U.S. chair and CEO. “Our industry and sector leadership team, drawing from across audit, tax and advisory, will advance our efforts to develop strong teams with deep industry knowledge enabled by leading technology solutions to help our clients win.”
The KPMG U.S. sector leaders will drive our teams to continue building trusted relationships with clients, enhance our industry capabilities, transform how we work together across our businesses and help the firm respond rapidly to evolving client needs. They will also drive industry and sector-specific investments in new capabilities and the firm’s generative and agentic AI strategy.
The national sector leaders are:
- Frank Albarella, U.S. sector leader, media & telecommunications
- Drew Corrigan, U.S. sector leader, healthcare
- Todd Fowler, U.S. sector leader, energy, natural resources and chemicals
- Andy Gottschalk, U.S. sector leader, state, local and education
- Brian Higgins, U.S. sector leader, industrial manufacturing
- Cecil Mak, U.S. sector leader, technology
- Kristin Ciriello Pothier, U.S. sector leader, life sciences
- Duleep Rodrigo, U.S. sector leader, consumer & retail

- Peter Torrente, U.S. sector leader, banking & capital markets

“The business imperative of today is a new, complex twist on long-standing challenges and opportunities,” said Melissa Taylor, KPMG U.S. vice chair, clients & markets. “Leaders must deploy and scale both generative and agentic AI quickly and responsibly, transform their business with M&A amidst persistently high interest rates, optimize supply chains while navigating profound uncertainty and adjust to the pendulum of regulatory changes that are also diverging globally.”
