Following her retirement from Accenture, Ms. McClure will also become a member of each of the Board’s Audit, Governance and Risk Committees on April 1, 2025.
Ms. McClure served as Chief Financial Officer of Accenture plc from January 2019 to November 2024 and is currently serving as Senior Finance Advisor until her retirement at the end of March 2025. During her nearly 37-year career with Accenture, Ms. McClure served in various roles of increasing seniority, including as Head of Investor Relations (September 2010 – November 2016), Finance Director – Communications, Media & Technology Group (December 2016 – May 2018) and Managing Director, Finance Operations (June 2018 – January 2019).
The Board also announced the appointment of John Waldron, President and Chief Operating Officer, to the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Waldron is not independent and will not be a member of any of the Board’s committees.

In John’s new capacity as a director, he will provide important insights into how we are driving execution priorities across the firm to create and sustain long-term value for our shareholders.”
“KC has deep and learned expertise in finance and operations of a large, global public company. Her appointment furthers the breadth and depth of skills represented on our Board and I know we will benefit significantly from her experience,” said David Viniar, Lead Director. “John’s deep understanding of the firm, our businesses and the broader industry as well as his strong engagement with clients around the world will further enhance his contributions to our Board as a director.”
