Big four consulting firm Deloitte has appointed Ellen Derrick as the Head of Consulting in Australia. Derrick is currently the consulting firm’s National Leader for Public Sector & Public Policy. Derrick will be replacing Kaylene O’Brien who has been in this role for about 2 years before retiring from Deloitte in October 2020 to “enjoy some time off”. 

Before joining Deloitte Australia, Derrick worked at Accenture and also took up senior roles at IISM Group and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.

Ellen Derrick – Head of Consulting at Deloitte Australia

Derrick joined Deloitte in 2011 as a Director and within 2 years, she was appointed as a Partner. By 2018, she was put in charge of the Public Sector & Public Policy practice. She has more than 2 decades of experience in management and consulting up her sleeves and has been deemed to be the perfect fit by the consulting firm to take up this new responsibility. 

In her role at Deloitte, Derrick led one of the largest verticals of Deloitte and gained great experience in designing and executing public policies across industries including social services, federal government, human services and healthcare. Most of her  projects involved digital transformation efforts. 

Deloitte CEO Richard Deutsch describes Derrick as a dynamic leader in the market. Deutsch adds he couldn’t think of anyone better for leading Deloitte Australia’s business apart from Ellen as the consulting firm works with its clients through this period of digital and organizational transformation.

Apart from appointing Ellen Derrick as the Head of Consulting in Australia, Deloitte Australia has also appointed 16 new partners.
