ATLANTA, March 6,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After an extensive global search
that attracted top talent from across all regions, Allinial
Global, the world's second largest accounting association, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Tony
Sacre as its next Chief Executive Officer. Sacre succeeds
Mark Koziel, who led Allinial Global
with distinction before accepting the role of CEO at AICPA &
CIMA.
A highly respected executive, Tony
Sacre brings over 25 years of leadership experience across
major global financial institutions, including ANZ Banking Group,
Commonwealth Bank, HSBC, JP Morgan, and National Australia Bank. He

markets, trade finance, and strategic advisory services.
Since 2018, Sacre has served as CEO of Bentleys Australia and
New Zealand, a major mid-tier
accounting firm in their market and a long-standing and valued
Allinial Global member firm. Having also served on the
association's Global Executive Board and APAC Regional Board, he
brings a deep understanding of the Allinial Global mission and the
evolving needs of independent firms worldwide. Sacre is the first
CEO from the APAC region in Allinial Global history, and his
appointment underscores the association's commitment to global
leadership that supports member firms across all regions. His
leadership will ensure continued support for Allinial Global's
strong US market presence while further expanding the association's
reach and influence into key international markets.
"It is an honor to take on this role and build upon the
tremendous success of Allinial Global," said Tony Sacre. "The need for forward-thinking
leadership and cross-border collaboration has never been greater. I
look forward to working with our incredible member firms to drive
innovation, enhance global service capabilities, and position
Allinial Global as the premier association for independent
accounting and advisory firms worldwide."
"With his extensive global experience, strategic mindset, and
deep connection to the Allinial Global community, Tony Sacre is the ideal leader to guide our
association into the future," said Jim
Wallace, CEO of BPM LLP and Chair of the Global Executive
Board. "His understanding of the challenges and opportunities
facing Allinial Global member firms and his leadership in fostering
international collaboration align perfectly with our mission to
empower firms for sustainable success."
As Allinial Global embarks on this new chapter, the
association's Global Executive Board would like to express its deep
gratitude to Steve Varley for
