EMILY KENT
PWC
TITLE: Director
AWARD CATEGORY: Client Service
AGE: 32
Since joining PwC, Emily Kent's career progression has been rapid. Her 2012 promotion to Director within the Forensic Services practice reflected as much. A CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner, she is presently the lead Director on the largest Forensic Services project for PwC, coordinating a team of 150 people in connection with a class action settlement.
"I can honestly say that I love going to work every day," Kent says. "I thrive in the high pressure and fast-paced lifestyle that a consulting career offers because it constantly challenges me. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the most intelligent and hardworking colleagues and clients in extremely challenging situations, where we have managed to meet our clients' needs and have a great time in the process. There's a lot to be said about that."
She credits much of her success to the collection of incredible colleagues and clients I have worked with, and in particular, the PwC partners who have supported her along the way. But Kent is now paying it forward as an active participant in mentoring other future woman leaders at PwC.
Being recognized for the award validates a fact that she's known for a long time, she says, which is that she works with a large team of extremely talented professionals assisting her clients in some very high profile and challenging situations every day.
"Words cannot describe how honored I am to receive this award, but this award should be equally shared by PwC, my engagement team and my clients," she says. "All of these players equally deserve this award and without any one of them, it would not have been possible."
