Pierre Nanterme, the new chairman and chief executive officer of outsourcing giant Accenture, made a courtesy call to Pres. Benigno Aquino III on Thursday, Feb. 28, during a brief one-day stop in the country.
Nanterme was accompanied by a top-level delegation comprising of Accenture Chief Operating Officer Jo Deblaere, and Accenture Philippine Country Managing Director Manolito Tayag.

The Philippines plays a strategic role in Accenture?s Asean growth strategy, being the second biggest delivery node and third largest location in headcount.
