Accenture plc (NYSE:
ACN) is one of the
10 AI Stocks in the Spotlight. On June 20, the company announced changes to its growth model and its leadership, effective September 1, 2025. These changes are planned to be implemented so that Accenture can prepare itself for the age of artificial intelligence. Accenture has been leading in Gen-AI and positioning itself as a reinvention partner of choice through its multi-service solutions and skilled people set.
Now, the company is combining all of its services in a single, integrated business unit called Reinvention Services. The business unit will operate under the leadership of Manish Sharma, Accenture’s current CEO of the Americas, providing customers with faster solutions and embedding data and AI more easily into its solutions.

Accenture will continue managing its business through three geographic markets—the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and Asia Pacific. Meanwhile, John Walsh, Accenture’s current global Chief Operating Officer, will succeed Sharma to become CEO of the Americas. Kate Hogan, the current Chief Operating Officer of the Americas, will succeed Walsh to become the global Chief Operating Officer.
“Today, our clients need more value faster, and Accenture is their reinvention partner of choice. These changes to our growth model will allow us to deliver that value and continue to scale our business by being an even stronger engine of reinvention that more rapidly delivers the power of Gen AI. We are writing the playbook for how to be the most AI-enabled, client-focused professional services company in the world and a great place to work for our people—our reinventors.”
