I believe he is at Price Waterhouse
NEW YORK -- PricewaterhouseCoopers announced today that Greg Brenneman, currently Chairman and CEO of TurnWorks, Inc. and formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of Continental Airlines, has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of PwC Consulting, effective immediately. PwC Consulting is the management consulting and technology services business of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Mr. Brenneman, 40, will report to the Chairman and Senior Partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Samuel A. DiPiazza, Jr., until the separation of PwC Consulting from PricewaterhouseCoopers, later this year. Mr. Brenneman will report to the Board of the new PwC Consulting company after the separation is complete.
Tom O'Neill, 57, former CEO of PwC Consulting, will become Chairman of the Board of PwC Consulting. In this capacity he will continue to help lead the process to separate the business from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and will remain involved in formulating the company's strategy going forward and maintaining relationships with key clients.
For six years, as President and Chief Operating Officer of Continental Airlines, Mr. Brenneman helped lead the carrier from many years of losses to renewed profitability and prominence. In addition, Continental became one of the country's most consistently reliable airlines in the world, and one of the 100 Best Places to Work as ranked by Fortune magazine.
Mr. Brenneman will be leaving his current post as Chairman and CEO of TurnWorks, Inc., a private equity firm he founded in 1994. Prior to Continental and TurnWorks, Mr. Brenneman was a Vice President at Bain and Company, Inc., where he specialized in corporate turnarounds as a Bain partner and member of the Executive Committee of the Board. Mr. Brenneman earned his MBA with distinction at Harvard Business School and a BA in Accounting/Finance summa cum laude from Washburn University of Topeka, Kansas.
"In Greg Brenneman we have found an accomplished, experienced executive who understands the unique opportunities and challenges of leading a public company in a time of transition, while bringing considerable consulting experience to his role," said Mr. DiPiazza of PricewaterhouseCoopers. "Greg's drive for change and performance are the right combination as he leads PwC Consulting through its separation from PricewaterhouseCoopers."
"Greg brings tremendous capabilities and experiences to his new role at PwC Consulting, and is the ideal executive to head our team. I look forward to working with him," said Mr. O'Neill of PwC Consulting.
"I am excited to join the professional men and women of PwC Consulting. Our company has some of the best talent in the world, an incredible client base, and an exciting future," said Mr. Brenneman. "Technology will continue to be used for competitive advantage and we will continue to help our clients drive results."
