From KPMG to the Land of Fire and Ice! 🌋🇮🇸

Retired Partner Dave Fowler recently traveled to Iceland and Embraced the Legacy while exploring the inside of a lava tube!

Innovation may bring us together, but it's the connections that make the experience unforgettable!

During the KPMG Tech & Innovation Symposium last week, firm alumni, leaders, and professionals gathered in Utah with the bold thinkers in the marketplace who are pioneering new technologies while continuing to build trust, resilience, and long-term value.

Thank you to the alumni, and leaders who joined us in Deer Valley.

"People, especially in their 20s, are anxious they haven’t found the thing they love. But so much of that time is finding out what you don’t love. Figuring out what doesn’t fit you is important and part of the process."

KPMG connections — for life!

Last weekend, four couples, who all met through KPMG, gathered to celebrate the engagement of current professional Tom Martin and alumna Kelsey Edgar. The two met while on firm rotations in Switzerland, and the rest is history. Please join us in congratulating the couple and wishing them the best in the future!

Retired partners Dave Fowler and John Eichhorn Embraced the Legacy at the World Cup in Kansas City.

Last week in Boston, the KPMG Alumni Relations team welcomed nearly 100 retiring partners—along with 30 more virtually—as they begin their next chapter. Through our Navigating Your Retirement program, partners come together to connect, reflect, and prepare for the transition ahead.

It was a special moment to recognize the impact of these leaders on our firm and to welcome them into the retired partner community. Thank you to all who attended, especially our retired partner panelists, Theresa Ahlstrom, Mark Caplan, and Frank Mattei, and our Management Committee members, including KPMG US Chair Tim Walsh, who came to the celebration dinner.

Once KPMG, Always KPMG!
