“I congratulate each of the new board members and thank them for their willingness to serve. At this time of unprecedented change, the role of the Crowe Global board of directors has heightened relevance. Our serving members provide invaluable guidance to help steer our network towards its strategic objectives. 
Diversity of thought and experience is essential on this journey. Our Board members – from all three regions: EMEA, Asia Pacific, and The Americas - bring a variety of perspectives and expertise to help us make smarter decisions. 

I believe collaboration is paramount to driving success at Crowe. The board of directors, our committees and our member firms all play an integral part in this. All embrace their roles in the development of the network and commit to working together to create lasting value to clients, talent, and the communities where we live and work.”
