Background

About Rosemary Devito

Over more than 35 years at KPMG, I served a wide variety of publicly held businesses in the manufacturing, service, retail, pharmaceutical, and media industries. Respected by clients for a candid, collaborative approach and clear expectations, I offered valued insights on multibillion-dollar M&A transactions, integrations, complex global audits, spinoffs, and IPOs. While building a long-standing book of business, I rose through industry, regional, and national leadership roles across a variety of disciplines and practices. My career culminated with the unique opportunity to support the firm’s general counsel’s office as a technical advisor on legal, risk, and regulatory strategies. Additional career highlights include: Playing a key role in placing nine new KPMG board members during a four-year term as a Board Nominating Committee Member. Guiding strategic investment in technology to drive growth and profitability as a National Audit Innovation Leader. Leading one of the firm’s largest audit practices through the impact of the Global Financial Crisis as Metro New York Audit Practice Partner-in-Charge. Passionate about mentoring, I am proud to have served as a KPMG Lead Partner Academy Coach to rising professionals. My teams and clients will tell you I’m tough but fair, always prepared, and have a knack for rallying teams around common goals.
