"Our industry and sector leadership team, drawing from across audit, tax and advisory, will advance our efforts to develop strong teams with deep industry knowledge enabled by leading technology solutions to help our clients win."
The KPMG U.S. line of business and sector leaders will drive our teams to continue building trusted relationships with clients, enhance our industry capabilities, transform how we work together across our businesses and help the firm respond rapidly to evolving client needs.

"The business imperative of today is a new, complex twist on long-standing challenges and opportunities," said Melissa Taylor, KPMG U.S. Vice Chair, Clients & Markets. "Leaders must deploy and scale both generative and agentic AI quickly and responsibly, transform their business with M&A amidst persistently high interest rates, optimize supply chains while navigating profound uncertainty and adjust to the pendulum of regulatory changes that are also diverging globally.
"Solving these challenges requires deep industry and sector knowledge as well as full firm capabilities tailored to the needs of both public and private companies. That's exactly what this team of seasoned leaders will drive forward," she added.

Soho House members' club nearing a deal to go private, WSJ reports
(Reuters) -A group of investors led by New York-based MCR Hotels is nearing a deal to take members' club operator Soho House private, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, valuing the group at $1.8 billion. Soho House shareholders will receive $9 per share - a 17.8% premium to the closing price of $7.64 on Friday. The company is currently valued at $1.49 billion. The deal value is based on the company's more than 195 million outstanding shares. Billionaire Ron Burkle, who is a controlling shareholder, is expected to roll over his stake, along with several other shareholders, the Journal said. Apollo Global Management is expected to provide more than $700 million in equity and debt financing for the deal, WSJ said. Soho House, MCR Hotels and Apollo did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comments outside business hours. Daniel Loeb, who runs hedge fund Third Point, in January urged SoHo House directors to run a "fair" sales process and consider other potential bidders after the hospitality group received a take-private offer late last year.

韓國VIB（Very Important Baby）商機…大發
新聞提要■韓國是全球出生率最低的國家，這對韓國而言，是國安危機，然而，若從不同角度思考，當孩子愈來愈少時，父母投入孩子的時間與資源也就愈來愈多，那麼這就是商機了。 精句選粹■Korea's fertility rate hit 0.75 last year, according to Statistics Korea — meaning the average Korean woman is expected to have fewer than one child in her lifetime, resulting in the lowest fertility rate in the world. 韓國是全球出生率最低的國家，這對韓國而言，是國安危機，然而，對某些行業來講卻是危機即商機，想出要搶攻孩童的商機。 在一個孩子愈來愈少的社會，搶攻孩童商機，似乎很違和，不過，若從另一個角度思考：當孩子愈來愈少時，父母投入孩子的時間與資源也就愈來愈多，那麼這就是商機了。 事實上，韓國確實出現「VIB（Very Important Baby）」趨勢，依據韓國KPMG今年發布的報告顯示，韓國兒童產業預計到2030年將達到近100兆韓元（約新台幣2兆元）的規模。 飯店搶當「孩子王」 VIB的趨勢，已讓韓國兒童的消費已從基本生活必需品，擴展到時尚、生活方式和休閒娛樂，而新近加入這波趨勢的是韓國的觀光飯店業。在韓國有愈來愈多的觀光飯店為了搶當「孩子王」，開拓出各式各類專供孩童服務的設施，且每家飯店各有獨特之處。 飯店業者積極開拓專供孩童的服務設施，看似是想要搶攻新商機，其實更多的是「固樁」：提高原有顧客對品牌的忠誠度以及增加回客率。 在這樣的趨勢下，首爾最富有區之一的板橋區的一家觀光飯店，就將原本專供行政客房使用的酒廊，改為是可以讓孩童盡情奔跑、發揮想像力的空間。 甚至還有家飯店業者是與藝術教育學校合作打造，專為嬰幼兒設計配備攀爬架、海洋球池、玩具廚房和木製學習玩具的空間的兒童休閒區。 度假地區的飯店更是看準VIB的趨勢，大力投入專供孩童的服務各類設施，例如玩具車駕駛區、電子遊戲區和室內遊樂場。有些度假地區的例如濟州或巨濟島的飯店還有為期兩周、兒童高爾夫課程的服務。 然而，不論飯店業者為孩童們提供什麼的服務，有一項服務是「一定會有的」，那就是可供家長一邊享用美食、放鬆心情，還能照看自己孩子的區域。 而增設專供孩童服務的效益，依據飯店業者內部的滿意度調查結果發現，還真的是有助於提高回客率與推薦率，究其原由，只有兩個字，就是「方便」。 這是因為「周末全家出遊」已經成為韓國的一種流行趨勢。對有幼童的家庭而言，帶著孩童出遊，不論是否開車都不是件容易的事，特別是自行開車時，光是帶著孩子上、下車、停車、找餐廳等，不是普通的累。 周末全家出遊成趨勢 但是，如果直接住進飯店，而且這個飯店有專供服務孩童的各項遊樂設施，就可以在一個地方滿足所有需求：餐廳、購物、運動，還有放鬆心情…。當飯店提供一切所需的便利性時，幼童就不再是「全家出遊」的障礙，而是開啟人生機會、提升自我的途徑。 這也正是少子化危機下，韓國飯店業所想要創造出的商機：排除年輕父母全家出遊的障礙，也為孩童們打造獨特體驗的場所。 更多工商時報報導 泓德能源衝刺綠電 明年看旺 台泥認購飛宏私募 攻儲能 美經濟重啟 Nike財報超預期
