&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Julie Terese Sweet&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (née Spellman; born 1967) is an American business executive and attorney who serves as chair and chief executive officer of [[Accenture]], a multinational professional services company with over 700,000 employees globally. Appointed CEO in September 2019 and chair in September 2021, Sweet is the first woman to lead Accenture in its history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before joining Accenture in 2010 as general counsel, Sweet spent 17 years at the prestigious law firm Cravath, Swaine &amp;amp; Moore, where she became the ninth woman ever to make partner at the 200-year-old firm. Her transition from elite corporate lawyer to CEO of a Fortune 500 company represents an unusual career path, as most professional services CEOs rise through consulting ranks rather than legal departments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Sweet&amp;#039;s leadership since 2019, Accenture has grown significantly, with revenues exceeding $64 billion in fiscal 2024, and has maintained its position as the world&amp;#039;s largest management consulting and professional services firm. She has led Accenture through digital transformation, expanding capabilities in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and sustainability consulting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet has been recognized as one of Fortune&amp;#039;s Most Powerful Women multiple times, ranking #1 in 2020. As of 2025, her estimated net worth is $52 million, and her 2023 compensation was approximately $22 million. She is married to Chad Sweet, co-founder of The Chertoff Group, and they have two daughters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early Life and Education==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Julie Terese Spellman was born in 1967 in California. She grew up in Tustin, California, where she attended Tustin High School and competed in speech and debate, developing communication and argumentation skills that would serve her throughout her career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet earned a bachelor&amp;#039;s degree from Claremont McKenna College, a prestigious liberal arts college in Southern California known for emphasizing economics, government, and international relations. She then attended Columbia Law School in New York City, one of the nation&amp;#039;s top law schools, earning her Juris Doctor degree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cravath, Swaine &amp;amp; Moore (1992-2010)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After law school, Sweet joined Cravath, Swaine &amp;amp; Moore, one of Wall Street&amp;#039;s most elite law firms, in 1992. Cravath is known for the &amp;quot;Cravath System&amp;quot; of intensive associate training and for representing major corporations in complex transactions and litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet practiced corporate law, advising clients on mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings, corporate governance, and general corporate matters. She worked with major technology and media clients, developing expertise that would prove valuable at Accenture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2002, Sweet became the ninth woman ever to make partner at Cravath, a remarkable achievement given the firm&amp;#039;s 200-year history and historically male-dominated partnership. She practiced as a partner for eight years, building a reputation for strategic counsel, client relationship management, and handling complex, high-stakes matters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her 17 years at Cravath, Sweet worked on numerous major corporate transactions and represented prominent clients, though specific matters are typically confidential under attorney-client privilege.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Accenture General Counsel (2010-2015)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, Accenture recruited Sweet as general counsel, responsible for all legal affairs of a company operating in over 120 countries with hundreds of thousands of employees. The move from law firm partner to in-house general counsel is common, but Sweet&amp;#039;s next career step was not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As general counsel, Sweet gained comprehensive understanding of Accenture&amp;#039;s business model, operations, and strategy. She oversaw contracts, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, litigation, employment law, and corporate governance. She also worked closely with the CEO and board of directors on strategic matters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===CEO of Accenture North America (2015-2019)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2015, Accenture made an unusual move: appointing Sweet as CEO of its North America business, its largest market generating over $15 billion in annual revenue. General counsels rarely transition to operational leadership, especially at large professional services firms where consultants typically rise to CEO.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The appointment reflected the board&amp;#039;s confidence in Sweet&amp;#039;s strategic thinking, client relationships, and leadership capabilities. As North America CEO, Sweet:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Managed over 50,000 employees&lt;br /&gt;
* Oversaw client relationships with major corporations&lt;br /&gt;
* Drove growth strategy in digital transformation services&lt;br /&gt;
* Led major account teams&lt;br /&gt;
* Developed the leadership skills needed for global CEO role&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet&amp;#039;s success in the North America CEO role positioned her as heir apparent when global CEO Pierre Nanterme fell ill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Global CEO (2019-Present)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2019, Accenture named Sweet CEO, following Pierre Nanterme&amp;#039;s resignation due to illness (he passed away in January 2020). Sweet became the first woman to lead Accenture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As CEO, Sweet has pursued several strategic priorities:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Digital Transformation Leadership&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Positioned Accenture as the premier partner for enterprise digital transformation, expanding capabilities in cloud migration, artificial intelligence implementation, data analytics, and digital customer experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Major Client Wins&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Secured major contracts with Fortune 500 companies for multi-year transformation programs worth billions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sustainability and ESG&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Expanded Accenture&amp;#039;s sustainability consulting practice and committed to carbon neutrality and net-zero goals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Workforce Development&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Invested in reskilling and upskilling employees for digital economy, with extensive training programs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Acquisitions&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Pursued strategic acquisitions to expand capabilities in cloud, security, and specialized consulting domains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Diversity Initiatives&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: Advanced gender and racial diversity goals, though progress has been mixed and subject to criticism (see Controversies section).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chair (2021)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2021, Sweet became chair of Accenture&amp;#039;s board of directors in addition to her CEO role, giving her both operational and governance leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal Life==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Marriage and Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Julie Sweet is married to Chad Creighton Sweet, and they have two daughters together. The couple married on October 3, 2004, in an elaborate wedding ceremony in San Antonio, Texas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chad Sweet is a co-founder and former CEO of The Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm founded by former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. Chad previously worked as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and as a vice president and financial adviser at Goldman Sachs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The couple first met at a mutual friend&amp;#039;s wedding in Singapore. At the time, Chad was working as an investment banker. Their shared interests in business, policy, and international affairs formed the foundation of their relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dual-career marriage involves complex logistics given both partners&amp;#039; demanding professional responsibilities. They reside in the Washington, D.C. area and maintain strong family priorities despite intensive work schedules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Diversity Program Rollback (2025)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2025, under Sweet&amp;#039;s leadership, Accenture made controversial decisions regarding diversity initiatives:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Discontinued global employee representation goals&lt;br /&gt;
* Paused participation in external diversity benchmarking surveys&lt;br /&gt;
* Scaled back some diversity reporting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decisions came amid broader corporate pullbacks from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs following political backlash and legal challenges. Critics argued Sweet was abandoning commitments to diversity that she had championed. Accenture defended the changes as refocusing on outcomes rather than metrics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The controversy was particularly significant given Sweet&amp;#039;s status as Accenture&amp;#039;s first female CEO and her previous advocacy for gender equity in business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Courage Against Hate Award Irony (2024)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2024, the Anti-Defamation League gave Sweet its Courage Against Hate Award. The award was ironic given that in 2025, Accenture would scale back diversity programs that combat discrimination. Critics noted the timing suggested corporate diversity commitments were performative rather than genuine.&lt;br /&gt;
