My role now is to create an environment that enables Grant Thornton member firms and their people to innovate and collaborate globally. We want to build a brand that stands out in the market and we will have a resolute focus on digital transformation – for our own business and for our clients around the world."
“Technology-led transformation and disruption is affecting every industry today, creating many opportunities for clients – as shown by record levels of business optimism in our latest International Business Report. We will help clients develop, grow and take advantage of these opportunities – which will lead to stronger growth for Grant Thornton.
Joining Peter on the new global leadership team, effective 1 January 2018, are:

Peter Bodin takes on the role of global CEO after 16 years leading Grant Thornton Sweden, during which time the Swedish firm’s revenues more than trebled to over SEK1.3bn. He previously served as a member of GTIL’s Board of Governors from 2003 to 2016 and is a former chair.
