Following the recent addition of 70 new partners mid-year, Deloitte added five more members to its partnership.

Four of the five new partners come from competing Big Four company KPMG: Daniel Houseman, Peter Sexton, Maura Barreto and Adrian Jager, who will join Deloitte’s partnership in October. The other new partner is Andrew Colvin, the former Australian Federal Police Commissioner who was appointed by the Prime Minister to head the National Bushfire Recovery Agency earlier last year.

After serving as an officer candidate with the Australian Defense Force, Colvin spent a total of three decades with the Australian Federal Police and was a commissioner for five years from 2014 to 2019. During his time with the police, Colvin led the investigation into the Bali. 2002 bombings for which he received the Medal of the Order of Australia the following year.

Adrian Hunter is currently a director in KPMG’s management consultancy, overseeing the Queensland Defense Sector business. Prior to his thirteen and a half years at KPMG, Jager spent three years at BearingPoint in two positions and one year at the Accenture acquisition Apis. Previously, he was an officer in the Navy for over a decade.

He began his career as an analyst at Accenture in 2001 after completing a Bachelor of Commerce from the Australian National University. Daniel Hausmann has been with KPMG for the past 18 years and worked his way up to partner in 2014. He currently heads the firm’s business transformation team, which usually leads “extensive transformation programs for the firm’s largest customers” and also acts as a payment practice leader.

Based in Melbourne, Maura Barreto comes to Houseman and changes from KPMG’s practice for Transformational Program Management, where she works as a director with a focus on the financial services sector. Before joining KPMG in 2013, Barreto was with Medibank for almost eight years, most recently as General Manager of Business Transformation, and prior to her career she was a professional ballerina certified by the Royal Academy of London.

A nearly two-decade veteran at KPMG and a partner in the management consulting division based in Melbourne, Peter sexton brings more than 30 years of professional experience to Deloitte, including a five-year career start as an Aeronautical Engineering Officer with the Australian Air Force. Since then he has held various positions, including as lead partner for KPMG’s management consulting business in South Australia.

Last month, Deloitte appointed 35 new partners in its Deloitte Consulting division, which includes subsidiaries Monitor Deloitte and Deloitte Digital.
