2025年6月10日，据天空新闻了解，自2021年起担任毕马威英国首席执行官（CEO）的Jonathan Holt，正被同事们广泛推举为接替Bill Thomas、出任2025年毕马威全球主席的有力竞争者。

据内部人士透露，正式选举流程将于2026年上半年启动。

在Holt的领导下，毕马威英国的财务表现和治理状况已从动荡中企稳——此前该公司因审计失误多次遭受罚款，其中案例涉及已破产的建筑业巨头Carillion。

尽管现任主席Bill Thomas是由毕马威全球理事会（包含所有成员公司代表）选出，但毕马威尚未公开继任者选举流程的具体细节。

毕马威全球网络的前任主席（包括英国人Mike Rake爵士）曾同时兼任本国业务领导人，但目前尚不清楚这种双重角色是否仍被视为可行方案。

毕马威国际发言人在发给天空新闻的声明中表示："Bill Thomas的毕马威全球主席兼CEO任期将持续至2026年9月30日。毕马威拥有完善的全球主席选举程序，我们预计将在2026年春季公布继任计划。"

Jon Holt, who has run KPMG in the UK since 2021, is being tipped by colleagues to stand for the top global job at the professional services firm next year, Sky News understands.

KPMG, one of the world's big four accountancy firms, is preparing to kick off a process to select its next global chairman amid growing speculation that its UK chief intends to stand for the role.

Sky News has learnt that Jon Holt, who has been chief executive of the professional services giant's UK arm since 2021, is being widely touted by colleagues as a contender to replace Bill Thomas as chair of KPMG Global next year.

The formal election process will not get under way until the first half of 2026, according to insiders.

Under Mr Holt's stewardship, KPMG's financial performance and governance have been stabilised following a torrid period in which it was hit by multiple fines for audit failings.

The most notorious of these related to Carillion, the collapsed construction giant.

KPMG has not yet disclosed details of the process of electing Mr Thomas's successor, although the incumbent was chosen by KPMG's global council, which includes representation from all member firms.

Previous chairs of KPMG's global network, including the Brit Sir Mike Rake, have combined the role with leading their domestic firm, although it was unclear whether such a dual role would still be seen as viable.

In a statement issued to Sky News, a KPMG International spokesperson said: "Bill Thomas's term as KPMG Global chairman and CEO runs to September 30 2026.

"KPMG has an established process for electing a new global chairman and we expect to announce succession plans in spring 2026."
