Carol Batchelor – Top 40 Under 40

By

The Top 40 under 40 is a showcase of local business talent under the age of 40 compiled by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC).

Carol Batchelor (37), is an Audit Partner and Director at KPMG.

Rhodes University graduate Carol Batchelor was promoted to Audit Partner at KPMG in 2008, and was the first woman to be made partner in the Port Elizabeth office.

This year saw her walking away with first place in the Professional Category of the Business Women’s Association’s Regional Business Achiever Awards. “The nomination and interview process for this award were fantastic,” says Batchelor, “and it has been a personally rewarding experience.” An attitude of continuous learning and a focus on the development of her leadership skills and capabilities help Batchelor juggle her many projects and personal commitments. “I hope to set an example to the many young women now moving up in their professions,” she explains. “I’ve held my current position for three years, and believe that I am making an impact in my role as a leader at KPMG with respect to our clients, staff and community.”

Batchelor is a mother to two energetic young boys.

The Top 40 Under 40 list, an NMBBC initiative, was compiled from nominations and selected by an independent panel at the NMBBC. The end result is a showcase of talented and ambitious young businesspeople from diverse sectors in Nelson Mandela Bay. From 7 December 2011, MyPE showcases one under 40 achiever a day.
