Emily Carlson

I obtained my Bachelor’s in English Literature at NYU in 2015 and started my career at S&P Global in New York, working in the editorial department.

This role inspired me to get a more formal business education, and I received my Master’s in Management from the London School of Economics in 2018.

Upon graduation, I joined KPMG as a Technology Information Risk Graduate in our London office. I wanted to challenge myself to gain more technical skills, so I did an internal secondment to our Data Analytics team in 2020. I was soon permanently moved into Data Analytics, and I helped to build many creative new technology solutions for our audit teams.

In 2022, I was promoted into a new team at KPMG, focusing on Digital Accessibility. I am now the Digital Accessibility Team Lead, where I help ensure that the technology we create and use at KPMG is accessible to individuals with disabilities and long-term conditions.
