McKinsey trained more of today’s new CEOs than anyone else. Five accounting firms, together, trained almost twice as many.
Since 2016, 2,412 people have been appointed chief executive of a large US company. When their filings name where they worked before, one firm comes up more than any other: McKinsey, with 26. The company named most often is GE, with 22. But add up five accounting firms, the places where people once audited other companies’ books, and the count is 50. The most common training ground for a chief executive is not a famous company. It is the audit.
Most chief executives are grown, not hired. The ones who came from somewhere else learned the job in a handful of places, and the biggest of them is the audit room.
Two in three new CEOs were promoted from inside
Of the 2,412 appointments, 1,625 (67%) were filed as internal promotions and 629 (26%) as outside hires; the other 158 filings do not say. Insiders outnumber outsiders more than two to one. Boards mostly pick someone they have already watched work.
That makes the question “where do CEOs come from?” a question about two places, not one: the company that promoted them, and the companies where they learned the job before they arrived. The second is what an appointment filing’s biography records, and 705 of them name at least one earlier employer we can identify. Those are the employers counted here.
Outsiders never made up more than a third in any year
The share of new chief executives hired from outside has moved within a narrow band: highest in 2024, at 32%, lowest in 2016, at 15%. In 2020 (22%) and 2021 (22%), with a pandemic under way, boards leaned further toward people they already knew.
| Year | Appointed | From inside | From outside | Outside share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 222 | 172 | 34 | 15% |
| 2017 | 229 | 143 | 70 | 31% |
| 2018 | 234 | 149 | 63 | 27% |
| 2019 | 236 | 150 | 73 | 31% |
| 2020 | 211 | 152 | 47 | 22% |
| 2021 | 197 | 130 | 44 | 22% |
| 2022 | 239 | 158 | 63 | 26% |
| 2023 | 180 | 129 | 48 | 27% |
| 2024 | 215 | 134 | 69 | 32% |
| 2025 | 263 | 180 | 69 | 26% |
| 2026 (so far) | 186 | 128 | 49 | 26% |
A board choosing a chief executive is choosing whom to trust with everything, and the safest-feeling answer is someone it has watched for years. An outside hire tends to signal that the board wants something different from what the company already has. That is why the outsiders’ training grounds, below, say so much about what boards were trying to buy.
The companies that trained the most new CEOs
McKinsey & Company (26), GE (22), PepsiCo (19), Arthur Andersen (15), Goldman Sachs (15) and KPMG (11) lead. Every name here is counted once per person, however many companies that person has since run.
| # | Where they worked before | New CEOs | Now running, among others |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | McKinsey & Company | 26 | Haemonetics, Mattel and White Mountains Insurance Group |
| 2 | GE | 22 | R1 RCM Holdco, Hertz Global Holdings and Berry Global Group |
| 3 | PepsiCo | 19 | Broadcom, Advance Auto Parts and Reynolds American |
| 4 | Arthur Andersen | 15 | La Quinta, Weatherford International and Roadrunner Transportation Systems |
| 5 | Goldman Sachs | 15 | Cheniere Energy, Ashford Hospitality Trust and Tapestry |
| 6 | KPMG | 11 | Encore Capital, Sonoco Products and EnLink Midstream |
| 7 | PwC | 11 | Select Water Solutions, Surgery Partners and Guess |
| 8 | Walmart | 11 | Sprouts Farmers Market, Herbalife and Michaels Companies |
| 9 | EY | 9 | L3 Technologies, Unifirst and Alexandria Real Estate Equities |
| 10 | Deloitte | 8 | Healthpeak Properties, Radian and Dave & Buster's Entertainment |
| 11 | Microsoft | 8 | Citrix Systems, Starbucks and Commvault Systems |
| 12 | Morgan Stanley | 8 | Altaba, IES Holdings and Sothebys |
| 13 | Procter & Gamble | 8 | Freshpet, Ralph Lauren and B&G Foods |
| 14 | Danaher | 7 | Brinks, LivaNova and Enerpac Tool Group |
| 15 | Johnson & Johnson | 7 | Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Globus Medical and Edwards Lifesciences |
| 16 | JPMorgan Chase | 7 | Alliancebernstein, Bank of New York Mellon and Fannie Mae |
| 17 | Novartis | 7 | Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Mondelez and Seagen |
| 18 | Wells Fargo | 7 | Life Storage, Dick's Sporting Goods and Freddie Mac |
| 19 | Bain & Company | 6 | ServiceNow, Expedia Group and Nielsen Holdings |
| 20 | Bank of America | 6 | Banc of California, Ingevity and AMN Healthcare Services |
| 21 | Cigna Group | 6 | Kohl's, New Rite Aid and Oscar Health |
| 22 | Dell | 6 | CDK Global, ODP and Cognizant Technology Solutions |
| 23 | Ford | 6 | Tenneco, Brunswick and Trex |
| 24 | General Motors | 6 | CDK Global, Enpro and Gannett Media |

| 30 | eBay | 5 | ServiceNow, Etsy and Teradata |
Of the 30 employers at the top, eight sell advice or audits, six are banks, insurers or other financial companies, and 11 make things. Many of the makers run several brands or businesses side by side, from PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble to Danaher and Johnson & Johnson, so a manager can run more than one kind of operation without leaving. The firms and banks teach by exposure to many companies; the makers by rotation inside one.
Five accounting firms trained 50 chief executives
Arthur Andersen (15), KPMG (11), PwC (11), EY (9) and Deloitte (8). Arthur Andersen alone trained 15; only three employers on the list trained more. Most of them did not jump straight from audit to the top job: 37 of the 50 were promoted from inside the company they now run.
William Siwek, chief executive of TPI Composites from 2020: “Prior to that, Mr. Siwek spent 18 years, from September 1984 to May 2002, with Arthur Andersen where he became a Partner in both Audit and Business Consulting Divisions.” Appointment filing
Brendan Cavanagh, chief executive of SBA Communications from 2023: “Mr. Cavanagh, 51, joined the Company in February 1998 after spending several years as a CPA in the assurance practice of Arthur Andersen.” Appointment filing
Jillian C. Evanko, chief executive of Chart Industries from 2018: “Prior to joining Dover in 2004, Ms. Evanko worked in valuation services at Arthur Andersen, LLP and also held audit and accounting roles for Honeywell and Sony Corporation of America.” Appointment filing
In those sentences the audit years come first and the climb comes after. An auditor sees how many businesses work before running one, and learns the numbers a board will judge a chief executive by.
McKinsey and GE still turn out CEOs
McKinsey & Company appears in the filings of 26 new chief executives, more than any other employer, among them the heads of Lockheed Martin, Pinterest, Starbucks and Haemonetics. GE appears in 22, among them the heads of Boeing, Intel, Equifax and Lennox International.
James D. Taiclet, Jr., chief executive of Lockheed Martin from 2020: “He was also previously a consultant at McKinsey & Company, specializing in telecommunications and aerospace strategy and operations.” Appointment filing
Christopher Simon, chief executive of Haemonetics from 2016: “Mr. Simon has been a consultant with McKinsey & Company since 1993, and prior to that, he served in commercial roles with Baxter Healthcare Corporation.” Appointment filing
David L. Calhoun, chief executive of Boeing from 2019: “Prior to joining Nielsen, he served as Vice Chairman of General Electric Company and President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Infrastructure.” Appointment filing
Robert H. Swan, chief executive of Intel from 2019: “Previously, Mr. Swan served as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of TRW Inc., as well as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Executive Officer of Webvan Group, Inc. Mr. Swan began his career in 1985 at General Electric, serving for 15 years in numerous senior finance roles.” Appointment filing
The sentences describe two different educations: advising many companies, and running parts of one very large one. Both lead to the same chair.
Goldman Sachs alumni run casinos, car rentals and handbags
Goldman Sachs appears in the filings of 15 new chief executives, more than any other bank. They now run Cheniere Energy, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Tapestry, Worthington Enterprises, Xcel Energy, Lincoln National, Wynn Resorts, Hertz Global Holdings and WW International. JPMorgan Chase appears in seven and Morgan Stanley in eight.
Jide Zeitlin, chief executive of Tapestry from 2019: “He spent the first 20 years of his career at Goldman Sachs, where he held a number of senior management positions, including as a member of Goldman Sachs’s Executive Office and serving as Global Chief Operating Officer of their investment banking businesses.” Appointment filing
Stephen M. Scherr, chief executive of Hertz Global Holdings from 2022: “Prior to serving in that role, Mr. Scherr was the Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs Bank USA and was head of Goldman Sachs’s Consumer and Commercial Banking Division.” Appointment filing
A banker spends years inside other companies’ biggest decisions: the deal, the financing, the sale. That is a different education from the auditor’s, aimed at the moments when a company changes shape, and it travels to almost any industry. The three big strategy firms, McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group and Bain, trained 35 of the new chief executives the same way, from the outside in.
PepsiCo’s alumni went to consumer brands; Walmart’s, mostly to retailers
PepsiCo appears in the filings of 19 new chief executives. Those hired from outside went to Advance Auto Parts, IES Holdings, Albertsons Companies, SunOpta, Six Flags Entertainment, Foot Locker, Starbucks and Primo Water. Walmart appears in 11, and its alumni hired from outside went to Sprouts Farmers Market, Michaels Companies, Acuity, eBay, Hanesbrands, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Conn's and Kroger.
Kirk Tanner, chief executive of Wendy's from 2024: “Mr. Tanner, age 55, served as Chief Executive Officer, PepsiCo Beverages North America of PepsiCo, Inc. from January 2019 until January 2024.” Appointment filing
Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive of Starbucks from 2022: “Prior to joining Reckitt, Mr. Narasimhan held various roles at PepsiCo from 2012 to 2019.” Appointment filing
Rosalind Gates Brewer, chief executive of Walgreens Boots Alliance from 2021: “Prior to joining Starbucks, Ms. Brewer served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Sam’s Club, a membership-only retail warehouse club and a division of Walmart Inc. (“Walmart”), a multinational retail corporation, from February 2012 to February 2017.” Appointment filing
The pattern suggests boards hire for the problem in front of them: a restaurant chain or a consumer brand looks for someone who has sold to the same shoppers at PepsiCo’s scale, a retailer for someone who has run stores at Walmart’s. Where a new chief executive trained is a clue to what the board wanted fixed.
Build the bench where your next CEO will learn
The numbers point two ways. Inside, most successors are already on the payroll, so the work of choosing a chief executive starts a decade before the vote: who gets the rotations, the turnaround, the P&L. Outside, the people boards hire come from a short list of places that move managers through many problems quickly: audit firms, strategy firms, and a few very large companies.
If you are planning a succession, ask what your candidates have not yet seen. A finance chief raised in audit knows the numbers and may not know the customer; a brand leader knows the customer and may not know the balance sheet. The training ground tells you what each candidate learned, and so what the board will have to supply.

Asked about where CEOs come from
Which company produces the most CEOs?
Among the 2,412 people appointed chief executive of a large US company since 2016, McKinsey & Company alumni lead: 26 of them name it in their appointment filings. The company named most often is GE (22). Next come GE (22), PepsiCo (19), Arthur Andersen (15) and Goldman Sachs (15). Taken together, five accounting firms trained 50.
Are most CEOs promoted from inside?
Yes. Of the 2,412 appointments, 1,625 (67%) were filed as internal promotions and 629 (26%) as outside hires; the filings for the other 158 do not say.
How many CEOs came from McKinsey?
26 of the chief executives appointed since 2016 have McKinsey & Company named in their appointment filings, among them the heads of Haemonetics, Mattel, White Mountains Insurance Group and Encore Capital. The three big strategy firms together trained 35.
Did many CEOs start in accounting?
50 of them name one of five accounting firms in their careers: Arthur Andersen (15), KPMG (11), PwC (11), EY (9) and Deloitte (8). 37 of the 50 were promoted from inside the company they now run.
Where does this information come from?
From the Form 8-K each company files with the SEC when it appoints a chief executive. Most include a short biography; the earlier employers here are the ones those biographies name, each shown with the sentence that names it. A filing without a career history adds nothing, so every count is a floor.
When a person the company depends on is gone, what does the loss cost and what does the plan buy?
Stratrix analysis of the Form 8-K filings in which large US companies (at least $1 billion of revenue in a year since 2016) announced a permanent chief executive, filed with the SEC from 2016 to November 15, 2026. Whether an appointment was internal or external is as the filing describes it. Earlier employers are those the filing’s biography names; filings without a career history add nothing, so counts are floors. Each person is counted once per employer. Corrections: contact us.
