“I am delighted to announce that the new International Committee (IC) sat for the first time in Bangkok on 18 October 2023. The first task of the day was to elect the new Executive Committee (EC) and the new Chairman which was a unanimous decision.
I am also delighted to highlight that 25% of the IC and 66% of the EC is now female – up from 0%!"
Meet our new Executive and International Committee
MGI Worldwide welcomes Laszlo Killik, of MGI-BPO in Budapest, Hungary, as he assumes the role of Chairman, succeeding our longest-standing Chairman, Roger Isaacs from Milsted Langdon, UK.
