大衛·羅蘭自2013年7月起擔任埃森哲首席財務官。在埃森哲35年的職業生涯中，他一直擔任著重要的領導角色，并在埃森哲的增長戰略制定中發揮了至關重要的領導作用。大衛·羅蘭是埃森哲全球管理委員會的長期成員，并擔任埃森哲和微軟合資企業埃維諾的董事會成員和審計委員會主席。在被任命為首席財務官之前，大衛·羅蘭曾擔任埃森哲財務高級副總裁六年多，并曾擔任埃森哲運營委員會主席。

大衛·羅蘭表示：“我非常榮幸能擔任埃森哲臨時首席執行官。我期待與我們才能出眾的一流領導團隊，包括新任首席財務官麥克盧爾，緊密合作，鞏固并延續埃森哲業務的強勁勢頭，強化我們在新領域的市場領導地位。我謹代表埃森哲全球46.9萬名員工，感謝南佩德對于公司的卓越管理和鼓舞人心的領導力。顯而易見，他為埃森哲的未來打下了堅實的基礎。”
埃森哲確認，在公司2018年12月20日發布的“2019財年第一季度財報”中所披露的埃森哲2019財年第二季度和全年的業務前景，沒有變化。
南佩德擔任董事長兼首席執行官的主要貢獻（2011至2019年）：
南佩德2011年1月出任首席執行官并于2013年2月開始兼任董事長。在他的任期內，埃森哲實現了非常穩定有力的財務績效，收入增長大大領先于市場，每股收益增長出色，股東價值回報十分顯著。特別是，埃森哲凈收入從2011財年的255億美元上升到2018財年（2018年8月31日結束）的396億美元，增幅達55%。在他擔任首席執行官期間，埃森哲公司的市值增長了約700億美元至2018年8月31日的1,080億美元，創下309%的股東總回報。
南佩德在埃森哲推進了轉型，并為將公司業務轉入高增長新領域發揮了重要作用。這些新領域包括數字化、云和安全相關的服務，現在已共同構成埃森哲全部收入的六成以上。他令人矚目地增加了埃森哲強化端到端能力和差異化競爭力的業務投資。南佩德還是一位敢于直言的、代表埃森哲包容性與多樣性文化的倡導者，推動性別平等并更新設定了2025年實現公司全員性別平衡的宏偉目標。
