Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has named Marco Huwiler country managing
director for Switzerland. In this role, Huwiler leads Accenture’s
growing business in Switzerland, which supports over 100 clients,
applying new digital technologies to drive innovation and transform
their organizations.
Huwiler (44) currently heads Accenture’s Financial Services
group in Switzerland, responsible for managing and developing its
insurance, banking and capital markets capabilities. In addition,
he is the account lead for some of Accenture’s largest Swiss
financial services clients. Huwiler joined Accenture in 2001 and
has extensive experience of helping national and international
clients drive growth through large-scale business transformation
projects, digitization programs and innovation initiatives.
Huwiler succeeds Thomas D. (Thomi) Meyer, who has served in the
role since 2003 and will retire from the company in May 2020 due to
reaching the contractual age. Under his leadership, the Swiss
practice has seen significant growth in revenues and talent. Meyer
served as a global client account lead for several of the largest
Swiss clients, led the insurance practice in Europe, Latin America
and Africa for more than 5 years and headed the launch of the
Digital business unit in the DACH (German-speaking) region.
“Marco Huwiler has extensive experience of running our work with
key financial services clients and will now be leading our efforts
to continue our growth and strengthen our brand. Switzerland has
many world-leading companies and we want to work with them to help
them drive growth and transform their business for the digital
age,” said Frank Riemensperger, chairman of Accenture in Germany,
Austria, Switzerland and Russia.
“At the same time, we are grateful to Thomi for his tremendous
contributions to Accenture during his 33-year career with our
company. His dedication and passion are truly outstanding and
inspirational. As a trusted advisor to both the Swiss industry
landscape and the public community, he made a decisive impact in
innovating Switzerland and the European insurance industry. On
behalf of Accenture, I wish Thomi all the best for his future.”
