UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who honors Per (Pär) Edin, advisory partner and former board committee chair at KPMG LLP, for his leadership in leveraging technology to benefit businesses and communities across the world, particularly the application of artificial intelligence to create value and accelerate innovation.
As the advisory principal in charge of AI go-to-market strategies globally, Mr. Edin spearheads KPMG's AI strategy services, portfolio of offerings and thought leadership to support their clients in adopting this disruptive technology. Mr. Edin recently completed five years of service on the KPMG LLP board, where he chaired the Operations and Technology Committee, and now leads KPMG's board training activities on AI governance and oversight.
This positions him as a prominent leader among AI business experts in the world, with a passion for driving impactful and responsible technology-enabled transformation across sectors globally.
Building Expertise Toward Future-Focused Strategies
Mr. Edin's early work as a satellite engineer at the European Space Agency was formative. He could witness the power that technology can have on people's dreams and everyday lives, the excitement of working internationally, and the importance of envisioning the future. These experiences have since guided Mr. Edin through several pivotal roles in strategy, leadership development and digital transformation.
Mr. Edin then dedicated 17 years to McKinsey & Company, where he rose to the rank of senior partner. Here, he advised business leaders across the globe on some of their most pressing challenges, led the technology, media and telecom practice in the Nordics, contributed to the firm's significant work in sales and channel strategy, and co-chaired McKinsey people leadership development programs globally.
Later, at Cisco Systems, Mr. Edin served as vice president and oversaw large-scale strategy and operations for a $10 Billion revenue business with global reach. When he moved on to KPMG, he initially played a pivotal role in expanding the firm's strategy practice and served as the global lead partner for several priority accounts and alliances, in parallel with his board service.
The Long-Term Vision that Drives an Impactful Career
Throughout his career, Mr. Edin has earned a reputation for solving complex challenges with clarity of thought, focus on innovation and a passion for people. He has been central in helping his firms navigate a path to the future by growing new businesses, building strategic alliances, overseeing CEO successions, managing disruptive events, evolving corporate strategies, and governing enterprise risk.
In the next five years, Mr. Edin plans to play a significant role in guiding companies and individuals through the transformation of AI. Based on a steadfast belief that AI will play a uniquely powerful role in changing the world, he guides businesses on how to develop AI in the direction of global benefit. He also leads with caution, understanding that the incredible potential of AI can also bring considerable risks.
Believing that his personal success is largely due to perseverance and the support of mentors, Mr. Edin strives to be a role model for values like courage and kindness and inspiring others to find their path to success. This is true both for his corporate work, philanthropic services and supporting children's special needs. He enjoys spending quality time with his family, various racket sports, composing elaborate meals for friends, and watching football as a former tight end at university.
