This CA went from a trainee to a two-time CEO by focusing on doing a great job every single time: Meet Sameer Chadha

• Hi, everyone. My name is Sameer Chadha, and I am the CEO of KPMG Global Services (KGS), a 14,000-colleague-strong organization.
• I’m a true-blue Delhi boy—born and raised here. My career has also mostly been in NCR, with a six-year stint in Mumbai.
• When I started my career, I didn’t have a long-term view mapped out. However, looking back is focused on doing a great job every single time and not being hesitant to change tracks for the right role…paid off in the long run.
• I also happened to be at the right place at the right time, for which I am very thankful.
• Here are some highlights and perspectives from my professional journey, which I hope will resonate with you.

The early years

Growing up, I was one of those kids who enjoyed studying and would typically be sitting in the first row asking multiple questions, a habit that has stood me in good stead all my life.

I have an insatiable curiosity and, as a consequence, never tire of asking questions (though I am sure my team and my wife may be tired of answering them ! )
