Mark Weinberger has become global chairman and CEO at EY. The professional services organisation also announced the adoption of EY as its global brand name, unveiled a new logo and adopted Building a Better Working World as its purpose.
Weinberger, 51, has had a distinguished career with a track record of leadership both inside and outside of EY. He has been a senior advisory partner for many of EY’s largest clients and also served on the Global Markets Executive and Global Public Policy committees. Mark was the assistant secretary of the US Treasury (Tax Policy) under President George W. Bush and he was appointed to the US Social Security Advisory Board by President Clinton.
“It is a privilege to lead this great organisation in these dynamic times and I’m looking forward to tackling the challenges ahead. EY has a proud history that stretches back more than a century. Over that time we have forged our reputation based on quality, trust and integrity.
“We are building on our history and our reputation to create our future,” he said.
“Every day, every EY person is part of building a better working world – for our clients, our communities and our families. We believe that everything we do – every audit, every tax return, every advisory opportunity, every inter-action with a client or colleague – contributes to building a better working world,” he said.
“We know that building a better working world is an ambitious objective but it is an incredibly important aspiration and will be front and centre of everything we do as an organisation.
“In a better working world, trust increases, so capital flows smoothly and investors make informed decisions. Businesses grow sustainably, employment rises, consumers spend and businesses invest in their communities. More than just growth, a better working world harnesses and develops talent in all its forms and encourages collaboration.
“We understand our obligation to look beyond our self-interest and engage with the world. We use our global reach and our relationships with clients, governments and other stakeholders to create positive change. We do this through who we are and what we stand for and, most importantly, we back it up by how we act.”
Weinberger expressed appreciation to chairman and CEO Jim Turley, who is leaving the post after 12 years.
Ronald Attard, Country Managing Partner for Malta, added: “We take this opportunity to thank Jim for his steady leadership over the years and look forward to working with Mark to explore new ways of making EY stronger, both in Malta and the world.”
