Anna Mok is a Partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP, the first Chinese American woman admitted to partnership at what is now the largest of the Big Four international accounting and consultancy firms. Mok began her career at Deloitte as an entry level staff accountant more than twenty years ago, developed expertise in a variety of business advisory areas as well as a regional focus in Asia, and became Partner in 2000. Currently, Mok has three responsibilities: 1) Global Lead Partner managing the account teams that work with Fortune 100 companies in the financial services and technology sectors; 2) Northern Pacific Regional Leader and National Leader of Regions for Deloitte’s advisory services, which include risk consulting, mergers and acquisitions, and financial accounting and reporting; and 3) Managing Partner of Deloitte’s U.S.-Southeast Asia desk, liaison with Deloitte’s offices in Guam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
At Deloitte, Mok has used her stature and political clout to initiate leadership and diversity programs, helping Deloitte strengthen its Asian employee network and align diversity goals to business objectives. She is frequently listed in the San Francisco Business Times' “Most Influential Women in Bay Area Business” and has received such professional honors as the American Institute of CPA’s Minority Leaders Award.
For her long standing contributions to the non-profit sector, Mok has won the Jefferson Award for Public Service (created as a Nobel Prize for public service) and Deloitte’s Community Involvement Leadership Partner Award, among other honors. She is Treasurer of the Commonwealth Club, the oldest public affairs forum in the U.S. She is national Executive Vice President and chapter chairman for Ascend, a national professional organization to help Asian Americans develop their full potential in corporate America. Mok also is on the board of the Asian Pacific American Scholarship Fund and the Hong Kong Association of Northern California (as a native of Hong Kong who grew up in the United States).
Mok has a keen interest in the Committee of 100’s mission to strengthen U.S.-China relations because “you can’t de-couple the significance of the U.S.-China relationship from people’s perceptions of Chinese Americans.” She also suggested that C-100 “can be a catalyst to bring the community together, through its studies, surveys, and focus on the media’s depiction of Chinese Americans and Asian Americans.”
