    Mark Langley Named PMI’s Next President & CEO
    Von Eugene C. Bound, dem Chairman of the Board des PMI, habe ich heute folgende Nachricht erhalten:
    __________________________________________________

    To all PMI Volunteer Leaders,

    On behalf of the PMI Board of Directors, I have the great pleasure of announcing that Mark A. Langley has been selected as the next president and CEO of the Project Management Institute. The Board enthusiastically approved his appointment after an extensive global search led by recruiting firm Korn/Ferry. Mark will succeed Gregory Balestrero who announced his retirement from PMI in April of this year. Mark and Greg will work closely to ensure a smooth transition no later than 1 January 2011.

    During the nearly nine years he served as PMI’s executive vice president and COO, Mark has established an impressive record of accomplishment. He has helped advance the profession by managing the complex operations within PMI seamlessly. He has spent countless hours on the road visiting chapters, collaborating with volunteer leaders, and working with communities. And he has been a tireless global advocate for project management and PMI.

    It was keenly apparent to the Board that Mark’s record of success, as demonstrated by PMI’s growth and increasing global influence, prepared him to move to the next level of responsibility within the organization.
    In addition, Mark brought a rich history of professional experience when he joined PMI nearly nine years ago. He has demonstrated expertise in organization strategy, operations and financial management, in addition to possessing deep knowledge of international business, strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder and investor relations, and IT management.

    Mark was born and raised outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and attended Saint Joseph’s University. He is a Certified Public Accountant and held a number of roles in the private sector, including CFO positions at AssetTrade.com and at ChemLogix. Mark and his wife Gerri are raising four wonderful children, three sons and a daughter. For more details, click here to see the press release announcing Mark’s appointment.

    On a personal note, Mark impressed the Board tremendously during the search process. His intellectual capacity, strategic focus, quiet passion for our professional community, integrity and warm humor were all impressive to me and my colleagues on the Board as we came to consensus on this decision. Mark is an invaluable asset to PMI and we are delighted that he will now leverage his wide range of talents in new ways as he moves into this leadership role.

    Most of you already know Mark and many of you have experienced his incredible passion for project management and PMI, and his unwavering commitment to working closely with PMI’s volunteer community leaders. I know our shared organization will benefit greatly from Mark’s vision and leadership. Please join my fellow board members and me in welcoming Mark to his new role within PMI. If you have questions, please contact PMI at NewCEO@PMI.org.

    Sincerely,
