Darrell McGraw

As PwC Middle East’s Assurance Leader, Darrell leads a standard-setting regional practice built on trust, quality and client-first service. He brings together the expertise of thousands of partners and staff across the region to deliver high-quality audits that combine industry knowledge, emerging technologies, and collaboration across the PwC network.

With more than two decades of global experience across five continents, Darrell is a recognised voice in the global Assurance community. He has served as Global Leader of PwC’s Energy, Utilities & Resources Assurance practice, Global Relationship and Lead Audit Partner for the firm’s largest audit account, and Regional Risk Management Partner.

He has led major audits, IPOs, and regulatory transformations in the oil, gas, and power sectors, including leading a client through the largest IPO in history. A PwC network-first leader, Darrell has held leadership roles in the UK, US, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. He is as comfortable in boardrooms and Audit and Risk Committees as he is in the field, visiting offshore oil platforms, petrochemical facilities and trading floors.

Darrell’s North Star is trust—built through quality, driven by purpose, and delivered through people. He believes the best audits come from creating the best experience for both clients and teams, bringing the right people together from across our network and setting a high bar for quality and care in every engagement. At the heart of it all is family. The values that guide him as a leader—trust, purpose, and courage—are the same ones he holds as a husband and father of three.

Darrell also serves as Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce in Saudi Arabia, stewarding the bilateral U.S.–Saudi business relationship in alignment with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. He is a Chartered Accountant (ICAS, ICAN) and a member of the Young Presidents’ Organisation.
