Acheson-Gray headed Grayling’s work for British Airways, a program that spanned 40 countries. Earlier, he spent nine years building Grayling’s Asian operation. He was part of the management team that sold Grayling to Peter Gummer’s Huntsworth in 2004.
Brad Staples, APCO’s international president, said the new hire has the right credentials as the independent firm builds London as an international hub.
Acheson-Gray has the experience of "setting up the Asian operation of an international consultancy; a proven track record in winning and running blue-chip client relationships across multiple offices, and broader international expertise," said Staples in a statement.
APCO currently serves Microsoft, General Electric, Mars, e-Bay, Tetra Pak and NetJets. |
