Biography

Salzberg is Jewish, and grew up in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, the youngest of five siblings.[6] His parents were clerks, and he and his older sister were the first in his family to attend university.[7] His father died while Salzberg was in high school, so he worked to help his family financially, and continued to live at home and work while he attended college.[8] He is the father of Matt Salzberg co-founder of Blue Apron.[9]

Salzberg earned an undergraduate B.S. degree in accounting from Brooklyn College in 1974, a JD from Brooklyn Law School (1977), and an LLM in tax from the New York University School of Law.[10][3][5][11]

Salzberg joined Deloitte in 1977, and became a partner of Deloitte U.S. in 1985. He was the Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte LLP (United States) from 2007 to 2011.[3][5]
