Korea Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) is pushing a generational shift by putting forward younger leaders, while also appointing Kim Ji-hyun, the first woman to serve as a group institutional sector head, as head of tax advisory. For the group's head of sales & marketing, it assigned Kwon Ji-won of the tax advisory institutional sector, who has extensive experience advising major clients. Kwon will oversee the group's companywide sales and marketing strategy.

Gil, the group managing partner, said, "Even in the AI era, an accounting firm's competitiveness still rests on client trust," and noted, "Together with the new leadership team, we will further strengthen our business foundation in the accounting firm's core business areas and drive the growth of the consulting business to build a sustainable growth structure for the group."

In January, when Gil was appointed group managing partner of Korea Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), the firm set out a "twin-engine integrated growth strategy" to reinforce the business foundation of audit and tax advisory, which form the backbone of the accounting firm, and to cultivate the consulting business—spanning management advisory, including financial advisory, and Deloitte Consulting—as a future growth driver.

In particular, the plan is to establish a "CEO-led" sales framework in which the chief executive officer (CEO) directly identifies and spearheads key business opportunities, thereby increasing the speed of response to the rapidly changing market and focusing on elevating companywide sales competitiveness by one notch.
