BrazilLeonardo Framil appointed Managing Director for Accenture Latin America
Yesterday, Accenture announced the appointment of Leonardo Framil to the dual position of Managing Director for Latin America and Country Managing Director for Brazil. Framil, who has been with Accenture for 24 years, replaces Roger Ingold, who held both positions since 2004.
Leonardo Framil has been appointed the Managing Director for Latin America and Country Managing Director for Brazil, the consulting firm said in a statement. In the new role, Framil will lead and execute Accenture’s business strategy and operations in Brazil and Latin America.
Framil joined Accenture in 1992, and has 24 years of consulting experience, supporting Latin American financial institutions in the sectors of banking, insurance, and capital markets.
From 2005 to 2011, Framil led the Financial Services practice at Accenture Brazil, during which time the unit increased its revenue fourfold, expanding into new markets and acquiring numerous clients.
“Leonardo has made significant contributions to Accenture in Brazil, including in his role as the country’s Financial Services lead,” commented Gianfranco Casati, Accenture’s group chief executive of Growth Markets.
Most recently, Framil was the Senior Managing Director and Financial Services Lead for Accenture Brazil and Latin America. In 2013, Framil led the firm’s acquisition of Vivere, a mortgage-processing technology company, a deal which helped make Accenture a leading mortgage BPO provider in the region.
Added Casati, “His experience and leadership abilities will be valuable assets for further building our brand in Brazil and across Latin America, as well as for leveraging the investments Accenture has made in the region in growth areas like digital, analytics and BPO.”
Framil has a degree in telecommunications engineering from Universidade Federal Fluminense and a Master of Finance from IBMEC, both located in Rio de Janeiro.
“I am excited to lead the highly skilled and talented people of Accenture Brazil and Latin America, while at the same time partnering with clients to help them transform their businesses to capitalize on the market opportunities in Brazil, throughout Latin America and globally,” Framil concluded.
