Deloitte global CEO Barry Salzberg has built his career on consistency and preparation rather than ambition, writes John Cremer.
For much of Barry Salzberg’s 38-year career, the prospect of leading a 210,000-strong professional services firm never crossed his mind. Having qualified as an accountant, his main goal early on was simply to make tax partner in the local office and build a respectable client base. But his talents were spotted, one thing led to another and now, as global chief executive of Deloitte, he heads an organisation with a truly worldwide reach.
