After spending five years as Accenture’s general counsel and chief compliance officer, Sweet took over the professional services giant’s $14 billion North America business in June 2015. She quickly put her stamp on things, leading a series of acquisitions in hot industries such as cloud computing and cybersecurity. Sweet is also focusing on diversity and working families at Accenture: It became the first big consulting firm to release a detailed gender and ethnicity breakdown of its workforce and also lets new parents work locally for one year.
