moreFormer member of the Management Board in charge of audit at KPMG, Jean-Paul Vellutini joins RSM, the 6th largest global network in audit, expertise, and consulting, as a Senior Advisor. He will primarily be responsible for contributing to the development of offerings at both the national and regional levels.
RSM's ambition is more than ever to strengthen its presence in France across its various services and markets while preserving the entrepreneurial spirit and the human touch that have guided the structure since its foundation. As of December 31, 2020, RSM France successfully completed its legal restructuring by merging all its regional activities into a single national entity. By combining regional proximity with the ability to operate consistently across the country, RSM is committed to continuing the transformation of its governance and accelerating its development.
"The arrival of Jean-Paul Vellutini fully aligns with our development and organizational transformation strategy. His 35 years of experience within a multidisciplinary firm, including over ten years in management roles serving large accounts, as well as mid-sized companies (ETIs) and SMEs in Paris and the regions, will be a valuable asset to the evolution and enrichment of our various services," says Paul-Evariste Vaillant, President of RSM France.
His role will primarily be operational, working closely with RSM's leadership and teams in Paris and the regions to help increase RSM's footprint in the French market. Jean-Paul Vellutini adds, "Our growth prospects will enhance RSM's attractiveness, particularly for young talent looking for new opportunities, while preserving the demand for quality, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the human values that form the core of RSM's DNA."
As mentioned in the publication of its 2020 transparency report, RSM is finalizing its reflection on its purpose and the desire to become a mission-driven company. "Jean-Paul Vellutini shares our values of exemplarity, respect, integrity, and curiosity. We strive to embody these values every day together, ensuring they become the backbone of our corporate project, just as the ethics of behavior and the tangible value we bring to our clients," concludes Jean-Michel Picaud, member of the board of RSM International.
Jean-Paul Vellutini, born in 1964, is a graduate of ESCP and spent his career at KPMG. An Audit Partner since 1997, he was a member of KPMG France’s Executive Committee from 2010 to 2019 and a member of the Management Board from 2017 to 2019. He led KPMG France’s audit business for 10 years (the largest audit firm with nearly 20,000 engagements) and was also responsible for talent development and quality across the firm.
He worked on transforming the audit profession in Paris and the regions, enhancing the offering, and evolving tools. He also contributed to the definition of the international audit strategy. He joined RSM in May 2021.
