Background

About Peter Goodchild

Global audit, risk, and governance leader with a proven track record of shaping and leading high-impact internal audit functions across complex, decentralised, and fast-paced international businesses. I bring +25 years of experience spanning FTSE 100 companies, multinational corporates, and Big 4 advisory, with deep expertise across sectors including retail, manufacturing, automotive, hospitality, business services and FMCG. At Marriott International, I lead a globally dispersed internal audit team, delivering strategic insight and independent assurance across markets, and partnering with senior executives and boards to navigate risk, drive operational resilience, and support long-term growth. My experience at KPMG included acting as outsourced Head of Internal Audit, managing full audit programmes, teams, and budgets while advising FTSE 100 clients on internal controls, SOX compliance, and risk transformation. I began my career in external audit at PwC, building a strong foundation in financial reporting and regulatory compliance. Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for commercially focused leadership, inclusive team development, and delivering insight that goes beyond assurance — enabling better decision-making, stronger governance, and sustainable value creation at global scale.
