ISG Names Bruce Pfau to Board of Directors
Former KPMG vice chairman to join board July 1
STAMFORD, Conn., July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, today named Bruce N. Pfau, a former long-time senior executive with KPMG, to its board of directors. Pfau joins the board effective July 1, 2019.
During a more-than-30-year career, Pfau has served as a billable C-suite consultant, P&L partner and consulting practice leader; as a vice chairman of a Big 4 accounting and consulting firm; and as a business author, speaker and noted expert on human-capital-intensive, data-driven businesses.
Pfau joined KPMG in 2004 and served as the firm's vice chairman of Human Resources and Communications for 12 years. During this time, he was a member of the 10-person KPMG management committee responsible for leading the firm; served on the KPMG acquisition committee that oversaw the acquisition of 10 businesses; and engineered KPMG's rise to #12 overall and #1 among its Big 4 competitors on Fortune's "100 Best Places to Work" list. Upon his mandatory retirement from his vice chairman role at age 60, he served from 2016 to 2018 as a partner, senior consultant and "ambassador" to some of KPMG's increasingly important executive markets.
Earlier in his career, Pfau held executive positions with services firms including Watson Wyatt Worldwide (now Willis Towers Watson) and Hay Group (now Korn Ferry Hay). He currently is a member of the board of Sabert Corporation, a global manufacturer of food packaging products.
Pfau holds a bachelor's degree from Tufts University and master's and doctoral degrees from Loyola University Chicago.
"We are delighted to welcome Bruce to the ISG board of directors," said Michael P. Connors, chairman and chief executive officer of ISG. "Bruce brings more than 30 years' experience building high-performance organizations and driving profitable growth in human-capital-intensive, data-driven businesses.
