KPMG announces 2026 partners, principals and managing directors across Americas

KPMG has published a directory listing professionals elevated to partner, principal, senior managing director and managing director roles across its Americas member firms, naming individuals such as Govind Adaikappan, Jennifer Alward and Carly Madeleine Amodeo at KPMG Canada, Dario Ernesto Arias at KPMG Dominican Republic, and Carlos Cruz at KPMG Brazil. The Kpmginfo page opens with a firmwide congratulatory header: "Congratulations to the 2026 KPMG partners. Each of these accomplished professionals has exhibited professional excellence in serving clients, accelerating innovation and transformation, coaching and celebrating our people, and living KPMG’s Values within their member firms."

The global KPMG site that links to the Americas directory is dated September 17, 2025 and carries broader leadership messaging: "Congratulations to the partners who bring the energy, expertise, and collaborative mindset we need to grow with purpose and deliver with distinction. These professionals reflect the very best of KPMG and are ready to help shape what comes next." That global page points readers to a U.S. FY26 promotion announcement site as well as the 2026 partners across the Americas, and lists a media contact for queries, Katy Reddin at kreddin@kpmg.com.

The excerpted Americas directory reproduces dozens of name, function and member-firm pairings. Selections in the excerpt include Audit and Advisory promotions such as Adam Devenny, Audit, KPMG Canada; Nelson Cornejo, Advisory, KPMG Chile; Hovana Capera, Audit, KPMG Colombia; and César Corrales Martinez, Tax, KPMG Peru. The snippet also shows entries for professionals in KPMG Israel including Ben Aronson, Tax, and Dikla Dagan, Advisory, and records multiple entries for some names, for example Yanki Bar-Eliyahu and Pablo Chara Lajud Athie, which appear twice in the excerpt with differing firm context.

KPMG’s announced scope for the directory explicitly covers elevations to partner, principal, senior managing director and managing director across the Americas, although the provided excerpt does not attach a specific promotion title to each individual and shows some truncated lines with bracketed omissions. The directory interface in the excerpt displays filters by "KPMG member firm" and "Function or service group" and includes link text inviting users to "View KPMG U.S. FY26 promotion announcement site."

The firm’s broader business context is visible in contemporaneous KPMG reporting. A KPMG Canada report cited on January 30, 2026 shows 33% of Canadian business leaders planning a major acquisition in the next 18 months. Separately, an Assets KPMG Irish M&A report provides due diligence detail mapped to workstreams - 86% Finance, 77% Legal/Regulatory, 72% Commercial, 71% Tax, 46% IT/Operational and 26% ESG - and includes Mark Collins, Partner, Head of Deal Advisory, saying, "Due diligence remains a key focus for 2026, with increased activity expected across most workstreams. This trend underscores buyers’ growing emphasis on identifying potential risks and gaining a comprehensive view of a target’s health before completion."
