Chairman and CEO
KPMG
In more than three decades at KPMG, it’s the personal touch that has given John Veihmeyer the competitive edge. Veihmeyer advocates frequent communication with mid-level management to underscore the importance of diversity. “If you aren’t passionate about this, then you can’t be in your leadership role,” Veihmeyer told Fair360, formerly DiversityInc. “We won’t grow as fast, be as profitable, have the best latent and achieve all of our objectives without inclusion.”
