BearingPoint Appoints David Hunter as Chief Operating Officer
Reinforcing its commitment to providing seamless coverage to key clients
around the world, BearingPoint, Inc. (NYSE: BE), today announced that it
has appointed David Hunter as chief operating officer. Hunter, who
worked at Accenture for more than 30 years and rose to the position of
Global Senior Partner, will be responsible for day-to-day operations of
BearingPoint across geographies, business units and corporate services.
Hunter devoted much of his career to running and expanding Accenture’s
Asia-Pacific business, as well as overseeing the Company’s
Government practice. At BearingPoint, he will spearhead BearingPoint’s
global operations and work closely with members of the executive
management team to bring a commitment and focus to client service,
broaden the Company’s growing Asia-Pacific
business and extend the reach of the Public Services practice to
governments around the world.
During his tenure at Accenture, Hunter held a variety of senior
positions including nine years as the chief executive officer of the
Government Global Operating Group and the Asia Pacific region. In these
roles, he was responsible for business turnarounds, resulting in
significant growth and performance increases. In addition, he led the
establishment of multiple government practices in the largest countries
in the Asia Pacific region.
"David is an experienced leader. In every
position he has held, he has created value for his clients and
opportunities for growth for his colleagues. He has a proven ability to
increase operational efficiency, drive business results and expand
profitability – all qualities consistent with
our objectives,” said Ed Harbach, BearingPoint’s
chief executive officer. "He will play a key
role in helping us build a stronger organization, grow strategic areas
of our client base and execute our long-term business plan.”
Hunter said, "This is the right opportunity
at the right time for me. I have known several members of BearingPoint’s
management team for decades and know them to be innovative,
straight-thinking and hard working. I believe there is a tremendous
opportunity at BearingPoint to truly establish market leadership in key
areas around the world. I am impressed with the intellectual capital
embedded throughout the company and am excited to be part of the next
phase of BearingPoint’s history.”
Hunter has extensive global experience, having lived and worked in 15
countries around the globe and he currently resides in Sydney,
Australia. In addition, Hunter serves on the boards of a number of
Australian public companies as a non-executive director and has
extensive experience in corporate governance.
