Salzberg was named CEO of Deloitte & Touche USA in March after 30 years at the company, which is one of the "Big Four" accounting firms that also include PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young and KPMG.

Deloitte & Touche USA’s tax practice has received numerous awards and citations and is widely regarded as the pre-eminent tax practice among professional services organizations.
Salzberg is a member of the New York State Bar Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants, and the New York County Lawyers Association. He is the chairman of the board for the YMCA of Greater New York, a board member of the Jackie Robinson Foundation and chair of the Diversity Best Practices CEO Roundtable initiative.
The Purdue Series on Corporate Citizenship and Ethics began in 2003. Speakers chosen from a variety of disciplines discuss aspects of business ethics and the role citizens play in corporate ethics, providing an overview of the impact of corporate ethics upon business, the economy and society as a whole.
Next semester's lecturer in the Purdue Series on Corporate Citizenship and Ethics is former senator Paul Sarbanes, co-author of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a federal law that provides procedures to publicly traded companies for a management assessment and audit of the effectiveness of a company's internal controls. Sarbanes will speak at Purdue on April 17.
