CONSULTING: Marketplace Expansions Brought 20% Year Over Year Growth

The San Diego office of Deloitte has grown dramatically under the guidance of Juli Moran as its lead. From a staff of about 400 just three years ago, the San Diego office has expanded to about 900 in 2022 and has been recognized as one of the largest and fastest growing professional services firms in San Diego.

As managing director and office managing partner at Deloitte in San Diego, Moran was named by the San Diego Business Journal as 2022 Business Woman of the Year among private companies with 250 or more employees.

Moran also led efforts across several marketplace expansions that have resulted in 20% year over year revenue growth for Deloitte in San Diego.

Appointed to head the San Diego office of Deloitte in 2021, Moran has more than 33 years of experience in the life science industry and leads a number of Deloitte account teams in the life science industry sector.

During a time when many companies face challenges in retaining and hiring people, Moran has met the challenge by coming up with new and innovative methods to quickly bring nearly 450 professionals into the San Diego office since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

She credits the success of the San Diego office to its focus on recruiting strong talent and on recognizing and serving the needs of its clients.

Moran encouraged a successful hybrid work model that allows for in person collaboration as necessary and to build a sustainable and strong culture for the Deloitte employees.

Promoting Diversity, Community Involvement

She also led the efforts to design and execute the first Deloitte DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Panel hosted in the office with more than 50 participants and panelists from Illumina, QuidelOrtho, the San Diego State University DEI Institute, and Connect.

Moran said that Deloitte for more than 20 years has focused on the inclusion and advancement of women. Her advice for other women is to own their careers, to ask for what they want, to network and use that network for support.

A frequent speaker at industry events hosted at the Deloitte office and in the community, under Moran's leadership the Deloitte San Diego office has started a bi-annual CFO forum for top San Diego CFOs to review the economic impact and tax considerations of congressional legislation and economic trends with Deloitte's chief economist.

She organized a Volunteer Council that planned Deloitte Impact Day in June with more than 300 Deloitte professionals participating in 11 hands-on community events with a variety of nonprofit organizations.

Moran serves on the Board of Governors for BioCom, chairs American Heart Association San Diego Region Board of Directors, and focused on bringing grants from the Deloitte Foundation to local organizations to support minority and underserved students as they pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education and careers.

When she was appointed to head the San Diego office, Moran said one of her priorities was to engage Deloitte's employees with local organizations where the firm can have an impact on the broader community.

A graduate of the University of California Los Angeles with a bachelor's degree in political science and government, Moran earned a master's degree in international business and marketing from the University of Arizona W.P. Carey School of Business.

Before joining Deloitte, Moran was a senior manager at KPMG Consulting and vice president of national accounts at NDC Health.
