Baker Tilly International appoints EMEA advisory council chair

Ted Verkade has been appointed to chairman of Baker Tilly International's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) advisory council.

Verkade has previously worked as regional chairman between 2004 and 2011, and will replace Eyal Horowitz, who is returning to Baker Tilly Israel.

Commenting on his appointment, Verkade said "Our focus is now on driving international business growth and developing our members' services and capabilities in the region, and ensuring we are recognised as the leading service provider in the middle market."

Geoff Barnes, chief executive officer and president of Baker Tilly International, said he looked forward to working with Verkade, adding "we have an ambitious strategy to grow our operations across Africa, a region that is seeing increased activity by multinational businesses."

Verkade will be supported by Adam Grainger, who became regional operations officer in December.
