Global leadership team

The GLT develops and drives the execution of the global strategy, and is chaired by the CEO. It is a full time management group dedicated to leading the global organisation in the successful execution of the strategy.

Pending his retirement, Alex MacBeath relinquished GLT activities from 31 December 2011. Paul Raleigh joined the GLT from 1 January 2012 and is primarily responsible for assisting member firms with implementing their strategy.

A critical role of the GLT is to work with member firms in driving the execution of the Grant Thornton global strategy. Our ambition is to be known throughout the world as the leader in helping dynamic organisations unlock their potential for growth.

We organise our actions around four operational priorities, in addition to the overarching objective of quality in everything we do:

fast and strategic growth
distinctive client service
best people
efficient operations.

Implementation of the strategy will build on strategic frameworks, prioritised investments and growth strategies that are appropriate for our chosen markets.

Functional leaders support the GLT in the development and implementation of the global strategy and comprise what we refer to as the Wider leadership team (WLT).
