The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) announced the appointment of Dennis Nally, chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers International (PwC) and vice chairman of USCIB, and  Frederico Curado, president and CEO of Embraer, as ICC vice chairs.

Curado and Nally officially took up their positions on July 1 and join ICC Vice Chair Sunil Mittal following governance changes approved by the ICC World Council last month.

Nally has served as chairman of PwC since 2009. He is an expert on issues affecting the global capital markets and the professional services profession, and also leads many of PwC’s corporate responsibility efforts.

ICC Secretary General John Danilovich said: “We’re delighted to have Curado and Nally onboard and have no doubt that their leadership will further strengthen ICC’s governance and the ability to represent our members’ interests across the globe.”

As a result of governance changes, which included an extension to the serving terms of the ICC Chairmanship, current ICC Chairman Terry McGraw will now serve until 2016.

The ICC World Council meeting also saw five new appointments to the ICC Executive Board. They were: John Denton (Corrs Chambers Westgarth); Daniel Feffer (Suzano); Robert Gutsche (KPMG); Mari Pangestu (former Trade Minister of Indonesia); Yassin Saeed Al Suroor (Al Suroor United Group).
