Apco begins search for new Asia-Pacific CEO

HONG KONG - Apco Asia has begun its search for a new Asia-Pacific CEO, ahead of the planned shift of current CEO Chris Murck (pictured) to a non-executive chairman role in April 2009.

Murck, who reaches retirement age next year, will move into the new role after joining Apco in 2001, and taking on regional leadership in 2005.

“This is no secret among APCO’s senior staff and we have a broad group participating in the search process, which we are just in the process of starting,” said Apco Worldwide president and CEO Margery Kraus.
