Timothy Flynn, Chairman of KPMG visits Carnegie Mellon Qatar

Flynn has been a finance professional for more than 25 years. He has written two books and was featured in the May 2007 issue of Financial Executive speaking about changes in the accounting profession and the regulatory and reporting environment. He was named chairman of KPMG International in October 2008, and elected Chairman and Chief Executive of KPMG in the U.S. in June 2005.

Flynn is dedicated to creating a values-driven culture that helps fulfill KPMG's 'Promise of Professionalism' to its people, its clients and the capital markets its member firms serve. He has given talks on leadership, ethics and integrity at a number of colleges and universities including Howard, Fordham, Yale and the Wharton School of Business. This is his first visit to a Carnegie Mellon campus.

By taking part in the Making the Connection Lecture Series, Flynn is sharing his vast knowledge of the field of finance with many up-and-coming graduates who are in the process of deciding on a career path. He is also building ties with Carnegie Mellon and Qatar that could lead to internship and job opportunities.

Flynn is one of many highly successful business professionals who are scheduled as part of the Making the Connection Lecture Series this academic year.
