Accenture (NYSE: ACN) announced changes to its growth model and its leadership, effective September 1, 2025.
Accenture has delivered on its strategy to be its clients’ reinvention partner of choice and to lead in Gen AI through its deeply skilled people and by bringing its clients multi-service solutions, including world-class, AI-enabled assets and platforms, as only Accenture can. These solutions are unique and deliver measurable value because Accenture has built scaled services in Strategy, Consulting, Song, Technology and Operations, deep industry and functional experience and unmatched technology ecosystem partnerships.
Now Accenture will bring all of these services together in a single, integrated business unit called Reinvention Services, under the leadership of Manish Sharma, Accenture’s current CEO of the Americas. Sharma will become Accenture’s first Chief Services Officer. As an integrated business unit, Reinvention Services will be able to create more leading solutions faster and embed data and AI more easily into its solutions and delivery.
The company will continue to manage its business through three geographic markets—the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific—and go to market by industry.
John Walsh, Accenture’s current global Chief Operating Officer, will become CEO of the Americas, succeeding Sharma. Kate Hogan, the current Chief Operating Officer of the Americas, will become the global Chief Operating Officer, succeeding Walsh.
