Google’s Ola Fadipe joins BDO as Independent Non-Executive

Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has appointed Ola Fadipe as a new Independent Non-Executive (INE) as the firm continues to enhance its people and culture offering alongside its commitment to audit firm governance and quality.  
 
Ola Fadipe, who has more than two decades of experience in people, talent and culture, has been a senior director at Google since 2019. 
 
Prior to her career in tech, Ola had significant experience in financial services and consulting, particularly at BlackRock where she was the firm’s Chief Talent Office for EMEA, and a strong background in large-scale transformation. Ola also served as a Non-Executive Director for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
 
She joins three existing Non-Executive Directors at the firm – Eammon McGrath, Jane Guyett and David Matthews. The INEs serve as members of the firm’s Public Interest Committee (PIC) as well as a number of other governance bodies. 
 
Matt White, Senior Partner at BDO, comments: “For the last 15 years, Independent Non-Executives have played an important role for us at BDO, providing constructive challenge and objective oversight. 
 
“Ola will bring a fresh perspective on the digital agenda and talent strategies shaping the future of our business, working with the other INEs to support our growth ambitions.
 
“Her experience will challenge our thinking to ensure our people have meaningful careers in an environment they feel supported to succeed, with a shared purpose to consistently perform high-quality engagements.”
 
Ola Fadipe said: “The changing shape of the market, its constant evolution and the fierce competition for talent makes the accountancy and business advisory world a really interesting place to be. 
 
“BDO is a firm that is focused on putting people and culture at its heart, being committed to quality and doing the right thing for business and society. I am very much looking forward to sharing my expertise and offering a new perspective, while working alongside the other INEs to collaborate and challenge the firm’s leadership in the delivery of its people and business strategy.”
