Joe W. Forehand, former chairman of Accenture, will be the keynote speaker at the
Rawls College of Business CER Luncheon at 11 a.m. Thursday (March 8).
Forehand served as Accenture’s CEO from November 1999 through August 2004, leading
Accenture through a period of significant change and growth. In August 2000, he orchestrated
the successful conclusion of the company’s arbitration process with Andersen Worldwide.
Shortly thereafter, the company changed its name to Accenture and undertook one of
the largest global rebranding campaigns of its kind in record time. In July of 2001,
Forehand led the company in its IPO, one of the largest in US history.
