The EY organisation announced the appointment of Julie Linn Teigland as EY Global Vice Chair, Alliances and Ecosystems. Teigland will now lead the growth of strategic alliances, expand the EY ecosystem and develop new collaborations with established and emerging market players.
Teigland brings more than 30 years of proven experience in professional services. For the last six years, as Area Managing Partner for EY Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, EMEIA, she has been a driving force behind the geographic area’s revenue growth to US$22b.
Teigland remains a member of the Global Executive which she joined in 2019. The elevated status for EY Alliances and Ecosystems is driven by the new EY global strategy ‘All in.’ Launched last year by EY Global Chair and CEO, Janet Truncale, one of its core tenants is ensuring the EY organisation’s globally integrated, multi-disciplinary network continues to lead through this rapidly evolving AI and technology-centric era.
Today, EY EMEIA comprises member firms with more than 160,000 people across 95 countries. Teigland also sits on several boards across Europe and the US. She started her professional career in 1990 and has previously held several other leadership roles within the EY international practice, since joining the EY organisation in 2001.
Raj Sharma, EY Global Managing Partner, Growth and Innovation, says, “Heightened focus and investments in our strategic relationships will be critical for the EY organisation to grow and maximise the potential of our ecosystem, enabling innovation, market expansion and scalable growth. As Julie steps into this new global role, she brings an outstanding mix of market knowledge, business acumen and vision.”
Julie Linn Teigland, EY Global Vice Chair, Alliances and Ecosystems says, “An ecosystem of strategic alliances is critical to driving innovation, scaling knowledge, and delivering solutions with greater speed and impact. In an ever-changing landscape, alliances help ensure that the EY organisation will continue to create new value for clients. I look forward to accelerating collaboration with our existing and new strategic collaborators around the globe as we help EY clients in their transformation journeys – together.”
