"Patrick’s solid expertise in advising APCO’s clients on expanding East and his understanding of Asian companies’ needs in foreign markets will no doubt benefit our clients and APCO as a company," said Brad Staples, chief executive officer of EMEA.
Horgan added, "The biggest challenge in a role such as this one is one of prioritization and focus. Asia's commercial relations with Europe, the Middle East and Africa is clearly a huge field within which we can only address a limited number of opportunities with the degree of focus necessary to ensure that we consistently achieve the best possible results for our clients."
Horgan will now be based in Brussels.
