Markus Borchert has been appointed to the ACCA’s council board for a three-year term.
The senior international executive currently serves as chair of Nokia China and on the boards of u-blox and Barilla. He is also a member of the executive committee of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
Earlier in his career, Borchert served as board chair or vice chair of several Sino-European joint ventures and as board president of DIGITALEUROPE, Europe’s largest industry association in the digital sector.
ACCA’s leadership is formed of the council and executive board. The council board meets six times a year and has responsibility for the holistic oversight of the implementation of ACCA’s strategy and supports agile decision making.
Borchert takes on the role of a non-council appointee and will now work alongside ACCA’s president, deputy and vice president, chief executive, three council members and another non-council appointee.
He said: “I was inspired by ACCA’s purpose and vision, which resonate deeply with my own values. I am eager to help shape the organisation’s future through my role on ACCA’s Council Board, actively engaging in discussions that drive strategy, enhance performance, and define the organisation’s long-term direction.”
Melanie Proffitt, ACCA president, added: “We’re looking forward to working with Markus and benefiting from his counsel and his experience of leadership in so many sectors and across many geographies.”
