Experienced Leader Award
Laura Penkethman has brought her experience from the legal sector to quickly establish herself as one of KPMG’s future leaders.
She moved from a law career to consulting five and a half years ago, joining KPMG as an assistant manager three years ago in our Governance, Risk and Compliance Services (GRCS) practice. She was promoted to manager within a year and gained sponsorship onto two internal leadership talent programmes.
Her focus on client quality, critical thinking, teamwork and leadership skills have brought an innovative financial control tool to market.
Laura was also integral to the success of the UK rollout of KPMG’s new Global Internal Audit Management system. She took the initiative to create a series of drop-in sessions, training and tips, to share her knowledge of the new system with colleagues – including the senior leadership team. This inspired them to embrace the change.
She also has a passion for social mobility. She’s doing invaluable work with two of our partner charities, helping prisoners to achieve sustainable employment when they return to society.
Laura is embracing the challenges and diverse opportunities of her new career. Her drive, passion, determination and skill have gained the unwavering support of the entire Sectors Consulting Leadership team.
