Simran Kahlon, Head of Marketing, Deloitte

Simran Kahlon is Head of Marketing at Deloitte, leading the marketing efforts of the Audit & Assurance business to deliver creative B2B marketing in a highly regulated marketplace.

Prior to this, Simran led the global digital marketing strategy for HSBC, implementing a refreshed social media strategy for the retail bank and co-creating with geographies on experimenting with new media.

Her 12-year marketing journey started at British Airways, OLIVER working on the BMW account and PwC. She’s built everything from first party data strategies to boardroom-targeted programmes and has been nominated for DRUM DADI Award and won a B2B Marketing Campaign Award. High energy, commercial thinking and a tendency to ask the challenging questions – that’s her brand.

Outside work, being an English graduate, Simran is obsessed with writing. When her kids wanted bedtime stories, she created a children’s book series – Adventures of Sidney the Snake. Because why buy books when you can write them yourself at 2am?!

She is a mum to two young boys – 2 and 4 years old – and in what spare time this affords her, she is also a Girls in Marketing Mentor, AI Mentor in Education and volunteers as a School Appeals Panel Member. Dangerously obsessed with being the next Nara Smith, she loves cooking from scratch for her family and friends and is known for her iconic white chocolate and pistachio cookies and granola.
