AGN International, an association of accounting and advisory businesses, has selected Christian Moises as its new regional director for the Americas.

The appointment is effective immediately.

Over the past 20-plus years, Moises has worked in marketing and communications roles across associations and professional services companies.

In the new role, he will work to align regional initiatives with AGN’s global agenda. This will include membership development, supporting existing members and refining how AGN’s services are delivered in the region.

Moises will focus on expanding the association across North, Central and South America.

AGN International said in a statement: “Christian is passionate about understanding what motivates people and organisations. He values building strong relationships with firm leaders and teams to better understand their priorities and identify how AGN can support their success.

“His work includes evaluating and enhancing member benefits to ensure they continue to meet the evolving needs of AGN member firms and the wider accounting profession.”

During his career, Moises has overseen projects aimed at updating marketing infrastructure, simplifying membership processes and improving the overall experience for association members.

His background includes deploying customer relationship management and association management systems, running multi-channel marketing campaigns and designing retention initiatives centred on measurable impact and longer-term value.

Moises previously served on the national board of the Association for Accounting Marketing.

He also spent around ten years working as a journalist at New Orleans CityBusiness.

In January last year, AGN International established the Americas Region, merging its North America and Central and South America operations.

At the time of announcement, the new Americas Region includes more than 50 companies and around 3,500 professionals and staff.
