David McDonnell, recently re-appointed for a further three years as CEO of Grant Thornton International, the rapidly expanding international accounting organisation, has appointed a new global leadership team to respond to the opportunities presented by the changing needs of the global market. McDonnell commented: "There are a wealth of new market opportunities emerging around the world for our member firms as the global market for accounting services continues to grow and change. These opportunities, I believe, require a new way of working and greater focus on a suite of distinct and discrete service offerings". The team, under McDonnell's chairmanship, will include global heads of four service areas: privately held businesses, tax, assurance and specialist advisory services. These global service heads will support the leadership of member firms in enhancing their ability to service their clients in this rapidly evolving international market. McDonnell continued: "By focusing attention in a cohesive and consistent manner around the world on four very different service areas, Grant Thornton International will be even better placed to help member firms grow and expand. There is an increased demand for choice in the global accounting market and we aim to respond to this by assisting our member firms in the expansion of their international service offerings to both privately held and public interest organisations". McDonnell has also taken the opportunity to appoint a Chief Operating Officer (COO), a new head of marketing, as well as a head of member firm relations which role will be assumed by Gabriel Azedo, Managing Partner at Grant Thornton Hong Kong and mainland China. Previously Divisional Director for Asia Pacific for Grant Thornton International, Gabriel Azedo will henceforth be responsible for managing member firm relationships across the world.
