Accenture has appointed Pierre Nanterme as new chief executive officer, effective from January 1 2011. He will join the company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Nanterme succeeds William Green who will continue as chairman of Accenture.
Nanterme currently serves as group chief executive of Accenture’s global Financial Services operating group, a position he has held since 2007.
He has been associated with Accenture since 1983 where he held a variety of leadership positions across many operating dimensions of the company’s business.
He also served as chief leadership officer, with responsibility for the company’s human capital strategy and for the design and implementation of its global operating model.
William Green said Pierre is a proven leader whose track record of successfully running key parts of their business, ability to forge major client relationships, experience building outstanding teams and commitment to their people make him the perfect choice for their next chief executive officer.
