Xynteo, a preeminent leadership advisory company, today announced that Jorge Pikunic has joined as Chief Executive Officer, effective April 15th.
“The time is right for Xynteo to scale its services, and these leadership moves position the company to provide even greater value for its clients. I have known Jorge Pikunic for nearly a decade – and he has the management experience and skills to take Xynteo to even greater success” said Xynteo Chairman Rick Haythornthwaite.
Jorge brings the entrepreneurial mindset, leadership traits, and business experience that the Board of Directors sought. We have our most talented team ever – and with Jorge’s leadership, Xynteo will play an even greater role in helping clients develop growth models fit for the future. As CEO, Jorge will focus on strategy, execution, and expansion of Xynteo’s client services. Through its direct client service and coalitions such as Europe Delivers, Xynteo helps businesses develop innovative strategies that deliver the growth investors seek and the societal contributions that governments and other stakeholders now expect.
“Xynteo’s mission and entrepreneurial spirit is one I deeply connect with,” Jorge said. “Xynteo has a unique ability to enable businesses to create tangible impact commercially, environmentally and socially. The need for this has never been greater, and I am honoured and ready to serve as CEO. 2021 has come with a renewed commitment from businesses and governments to take on the global challenges we are facing, and I am ready to convert these commitments into action.”
Jorge joins Xynteo from Centrica PLC, where he most recently served as Managing Director of the organisation’s Business Solutions division. Before joining Centrica, he worked for McKinsey & Company, Procter & Gamble, and PDVSA (Venezuelan national oil company). He is a Board Director of the Faraday Institution, the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage science and technology.
“The world is changing quickly. Five years after the Paris Accord, there is a renewed commitment by businesses and governments to finally take on the existential challenges the world faces. I am excited about the opportunities for Xynteo and our partner clients to lead the way toward a future that is net zero, socially just, and filled with more economic opportunity.”
