BDO said AI will be part of its operational plans, alongside continued investment in people and technology.
Lindberg has worked at BDO for more than 25 years. Most recently, he was chief strategy and operations officer, where he helped develop the network’s global strategy.
He joined BDO Norway as a graduate trainee in 1999 and became a partner in 2006. He was appointed managing partner and CEO of BDO Norway in 2010.
In 2017, Lindberg joined BDO’s Global Leadership Team as CEO for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Lindberg said: “Over the last 12 months, I have been working alongside Pat Kramer, engaging with partners and colleagues across the globe, and refining my priorities as I prepared to take on the role.
“I would like to thank Pat for his leadership and the significant contribution he has made to BDO over many years.
“Our network was built with the purpose of supporting our clients as their ambitions and challenges became increasingly global. More than 60 years later, that purpose has never been more relevant.”
He added: “The world is changing rapidly, and it is more important than ever to stay agile in our approach, while setting clear ambitions for what we want to achieve.
“That means bringing our firms closer together, combining the right expertise and making it easier for clients to access the best of BDO wherever they operate.
“We have a clear ambition and significant opportunity ahead of us to harness the collective strength of the BDO network to grow together and be bolder as we move into this next chapter.”
Last month, BDO LLP appointed three sector leaders across its UK and Ireland operations.
