KPMG names Benjie Thomas as new CEO for Canadian division

KPMG says it has named Benjie Thomas as the new CEO of its Canadian division.

The accounting giant says he will step into the role Oct. 1, replacing Elio Luongo who is wrapping two consecutive terms.

The firm says Thomas jointed KPMG in 1998 after graduating from University of Waterloo's accounting program. 

It says more recently, he's been a member of KPMG's management committee and has served as managing partner of the firm's advisory business since 2016.
