Michael Moritz thanked the outgoing board members for their services to Globalscope: Paddy MccGwire, who steps down following 6 years of service to Globalscope as President Elect, President and Past President. Paddy has overseen the transformation of the network from its creation with the merger between ACS and ICN to incorporation in 2010. Paddy’s leadership has been instrumental in helping build the solid platform on which we now develop our network. Although Paddy is no longer a Director of Globalscope, Paddy hasaccepted the role of Treasurer and will continue to oversee Globalscope’s finances which are based in the UK.

Michael Tilley has retired as President of Globalscope in Moscow on Thursday 16th May. Michael’s tenure continued the professionalising of the network, adding a focus on technology and recruitment. We have seen the output of Michael’s dedication with the new Globalscope website which will transform our reach and effectiveness. We are also grateful for Michael’s steer with the recruitment push that enabled us to invite five observer firms to our conference in Moscow taking us to 31 members across 24 countries – a fantastic result.

Michael Moritz, President of Globalscope comments “I am delighted to follow on from Paddy and Michael’s hard work and will continue to drive the network forward to reach our goal of having 40 members by May 2015”.
