SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte, the largest professional services organization in the United States, today announced the appointment of Paul Sallomi, partner, Deloitte Tax LLP, to national sector leader (NSL) for technology within Deloitte's technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) practice. As NSL for technology, Sallomi succeeds Eric Openshaw, who held the position for the past nine years and will continue in his role as national industry leader for Deloitte TMT.

In his new role, Sallomi will work to grow and strengthen the technology practice; and to lead strategic industry research, service development and delivery to clients.

"Paul has held a number of significant leadership roles at Deloitte and as a result brings a unique perspective and deep industry knowledge that will help clients address the quickly evolving business landscape," said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader, Deloitte LLP. "Paul is committed to quality and addressing the needs of clients and I'd like to congratulate him in his new role as national sector leader for technology."

History of Technology Leadership
Sallomi has had a number of significant leadership roles in tax, including serving as U.S. tax TMT industry leader and U.S. tax technology sector leader. In these roles, he was responsible for developing a community of professionals and clients through overseeing the creation and distribution of technical content, facilitating seminars, and participating in the planning, delivery, and satisfaction assessment processes for Deloitte's most significant TMT clients.

"The intersection of disruptive forces including cloud, mobile, social and the Internet of Things are opening up new revenue streams and opportunities for businesses that can give them a strategic advantage over their competitors if properly leveraged," said Sallomi. "These disruptive forces are quickly becoming table stakes for the industry, but many enterprises are still in the beginning stages of discussing these technologies and figuring ways to enter new markets and provide integrated solutions. As part of my new role I look forward to working with clients to determine the impact these technologies will have on their businesses and how best to implement them."
