John Walsh posted thisA couple of months ago, @Accenture announced key changes to our operating model that will create more value, faster for our clients. We’re bringing our Services – Strategy, Consulting, Song, Technology and Operations – into a single, integrated business group called Reinvention Services. As part of these changes, I am honored and excited to become CEO of Americas, effective September 1. I’m looking forward to working with our incredible Accenture team, and to partnering closely with our Americas clients. I’d also like to congratulate @Manish Sharma who will lead Reinvention Services and @KateHogan, who will succeed me as COO of Accenture. I’ve had the privilege of partnering Kate for decades, most recently in her current role as COO of Americas. She’s a fantastic leader who will help take Accenture, and our clients, to new heights. We have exciting times ahead, and I’m proud to be at Accenture leading the way in this next wave of AI & reinvention.

Accenture has unveiled updates to its growth model and leadership structure, effective September 1, 2025, aimed at deepening market focus, enhancing operational efficiency, and driving long-term growth. The company will continue to operate with a geographic market focus across its three key regions—the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and Asia Pacific—while aligning its go-to-market strategy by industry to better serve client needs globally. As part of the leadership transition: John Walsh, currently Accenture’s Global Chief Operating Officer, will become CEO of the Americas, succeeding Manish Sharma. Kate Hogan, the current COO for the Americas, will step into the role of Global Chief Operating Officer, succeeding Walsh. In his tenure as Global COO, John Walsh has played a critical role in advancing Accenture’s enterprise-wide transformation, overseeing business operations, and ensuring strategic execution in close alignment with the Chair and CEO. His leadership has been central to delivering operational excellence and strengthening Accenture’s competitive edge. Kate Hogan, who brings over 20 years of experience in strategy, consulting, and outsourcing, has been instrumental in leading business operations across the Americas. As COO, she has consistently driven digital transformation, improved efficiency, and delivered strong results across sectors and geographies. This leadership realignment reinforces Accenture’s commitment to agility, innovation, and client-centric growth, as the company continues to navigate a rapidly changing global business landscape. #Accenture #LeadershipUpdate #JohnWalsh #KateHogan #AccentureNews #GlobalCOO #CEOAmericas #BusinessTransformation #ConsultingLeadership #GrowthStrategy #LeadershipAnnouncement #ExecutiveTransitions #StrategyAndConsulting #OperationalExcellence #FutureOfWork #DigitalTransformation #AccentureLeadership #CorporateLeadership #EnterpriseGrowth #CLevelLeadership #AsiaPacificGrowth #Workforce #Announcement #AnnouncementNews #Businesssuccesselites #Appointment #AppointmentNews #Leadership #𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 #Women #Advisory

John Walsh shared thisAccenture’s new research looks at the increasing number of companies adopting a strategy of reinvention and how generative AI can help these ‘reinventors’ pull ahead of the pack. This was a key focus for us last week in Davos where we held workshops to show how #GenAI can help clients quickly and responsibly reinvent their organizations, something we’re also doing for our own business. The report, including five imperatives for C-suite leaders to reinvent in the age of generative AI, can be found here… https://lnkd.in/gST7PSTr

John Walsh liked thisJohn Walsh liked thisWrapping up a busy and energizing week at #MWC26. Across conversations with clients and ecosystem partners, one theme clearly stood out: AI. What’s interesting is how the discussion is evolving — from what AI could do to how it will reshape telecom, from customer experiences to the digital core of networks and the path toward autonomy. Another topic that surfaced repeatedly was the intersection of AI and sovereignty, and what it means for operators and national digital infrastructure. A few reflections from the week in the video.

She had an infectious energy and deep passion for the outdoors. Niki didn’t just love nature - she lived it and inspired others to step outside, explore, and care for our world. Her loss at 42 is heartbreaking, but she leaves a legacy of many memories and how all of us can weave wilderness and connection into our everyday lives. https://lnkd.in/gbBcrDYH

John Walsh liked thisJohn Walsh liked thisAds in Clay officially launches this Wednesday for enterprise customers. We're coming out of beta! This might be the most electric product-market fit we've seen for a new feature in a long time. I met with 8 prospects about Ads last week and they couldn't get enough. So, yesterday I sat down with the godfather of Ads, Clay engineer Alex Reznik, to share why we built Ads and how we used it to decrease our Cost-Per Qualified Lead by 80% with just one click. He is going to tell you the full Ads story. Where the idea came from (Bruno is claiming credit), how Alex went rogue to build it on his own, what the ads orchestration process actually looks like for growth marketers today (super painful and wasteful), and how we're already getting match rates of 90% on LinkedIn and 60%+ on Meta for customers like Slack, Anthropic, and Rippling. Plus, we share all of the coolest use cases and plays we're running internally at Clay (check out below) But that's not all! As part of our "How Clay Uses Clay" series, we’re hosting a LIVE workshop on Thursday, February 26th, to help YOU build these Ad use cases end-to-end. Our Head of Growth Davide Grieco will show you exactly how to build the entire Clay Ads flow in 30-40 minutes. You'll leave the session with an automated workflow, higher match rates and way better targeting. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eFa78RrD Here are two plays we're already using this for internally just to whet your appetite: PLG Exclusion: We have hundreds of thousands of people across our ecosystem - customers, users, competitors, employees, agencies. Showing ads to them was burning up to 20% of our budget. Dynamic exclusion lists now auto-refresh so that spend goes to net-new prospects. Full-Funnel ABM: Because audiences are dynamic and constantly updating, you cater content to funnel stage. Cold accounts get awareness ads. Medium engagement gets social proof - case studies, webinars. Hot accounts get leadgen ads direct to sales. All programmatic as engagement scores go up.
