In this global role, Close will lead and expand Accenture’s
Talent & Organization practice, which helps companies and their
leaders fuel sustainable growth by connecting people and technology
to unlock human ingenuity; finding ways to access, create and
unlock new talent; and designing an organization built to thrive
amid change. She will lead Accenture’s vision for talent,
organization and change agendas across the company’s full range of
capabilities and its ecosystem partners and continue to develop
assets and offerings to help clients reimagine their workforces,
prepare workers with the skills today’s tech revolution requires,
and ultimately drive enterprise-wide change with people at the
center.
“Talent is the number-one agenda item for CEOs, and as our
clients reinvent their organizations with technology, data and AI,
they need to not only build their digital cores and change their
processes but also, critically, develop new ways of working and
reskill and upskill their people,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO
of Accenture. “Karalee brings significant experience in
transformations, organization and people, and design, skilling and
change solutions that will help us continue to expand our practice
and capabilities and drive 360-degree value for our clients. We are
thrilled to welcome her to Accenture and our Global Management
Committee.”
Close is a respected and innovative leader whose career spans
more than two decades of senior regional and global leadership
roles while based in Toronto, Paris and London. She brings deep
expertise in strategy, technology, people, change and organization,
and digital & AI transformation services across global
industries and markets, coupled with a highly successful track
record of CEO advisory relationships. Most recently, Close was
Managing Director & Senior Partner and served as Vice Chair,
Tech & Digital at The Boston Consulting Group. She has an
accomplished history in helping clients change their organization,
operating model and skills to fully maximize benefits of technology
deployments. Close is an active supporter of DE&I, women in
technology and new ways of working. Prior to joining the Boston
Consulting Group, Close held senior management positions in
corporate planning and information systems in healthcare.
“Accenture has an ambitious agenda to help companies
continuously reinvent their future and enhance performance through
technology and talent,” said Karalee Close. “In this era of rapid
technological- and AI-enabled change, companies and societies
urgently need to reimagine work, to define new approaches to
talent, organization and change, and to take care of people in
fundamentally different ways. I have always been committed to
putting people at the center of change and am excited to play a key
role in bringing Accenture’s deep technology capabilities together
with new and innovative approaches to talent, human performance and
leadership.”
Close received her Master of Business Administration from
University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. In addition to
leading Accenture’s Talent & Organization practice, Close will
serve as a member of Accenture’s Global Management Committee and
Accenture’s Global Strategy & Consulting group. She will be
based out of Vancouver.
