Paul Griggs

CEO of PwC

BIO: Serving as the senior partner of PwC US. Nearly a 30-year PwC veteran, I previously served as Vice Chair of US Markets, leading the strategy and execution of our commercial, people, community and quality efforts across our 90+ offices. Having served as a lead client partner for some of the firm’s largest clients, I have had the privilege of advising companies through significant global change—including business model reinvention, public offerings, acquisitions and divestitures—driving trust within the capital markets. Passionate about building skills and opportunities for all, I co-led My+, the firm’s people strategy that empowers our 75,000 people to develop and grow their careers, including upskilling the entire workforce on generative AI. I am a proud husband and dedicated father of three. Outside of work, you can find me traveling, reading or exploring the great outdoors.
