Deloitte announced the appointment of 17 new leaders today, which came into effect on December 1 last year.

These leaders are seven new equity partners and ten new directors. The new partner appointments bring the total number of equity partners across the firm's six offices to 114.

Deloitte's presence in the Central North Island is broadened with the admission of Lee Gray and Tamarapa Lloyd who have joined the Rotorua office.

Marco Ciobo and Sonia Breeze have been appointed consulting partners in Auckland, and, in the South Island, Heidi Rautjoki is an assurance and advisory partner in Dunedin.

Also in the South Island, two new partners join the Christchurch syndicate. Richard Bailey joins the corporate finance team while David Seath is the latest addition to the risk advisory team.

 “Our investment in seven new partners reflects both the current demand for our services and our optimism for the future,” adds Pippos.
