The Corporate Executive Board (CEB) plans to open a regional office in Sydney, Australia early this year. The company seeks to increase its value to members and further deepen its relationships with "in time-zone" and in-person service support, and improved network opportunities for its members. Sydney-based staffing of CEB's account service teams begins in February 2008, at their Bridge Street location.

CEB has a long history of service to the region, with relationships dating back to 1989. The company says it now serves more than 150 organizations and 560 executives in Australia and New Zealand, with rapidly expanding service to companies in greater Asia-Pacific. In recent years, CEB has assisted its members in areas that include Developing a Compelling Employment Brand, Boosting Sales Force Productivity, Aligning IT with Corporate Strategy, Corporate Governance and Sustainability.

"We are delighted to add Sydney to our list of global offices, which now includes Washington, DC, London, New Delhi, Chicago and San Francisco. We value greatly our long history of serving executives in Australia and New Zealand, and look forward to a continued close partnership with our members in the region now made easier by our proximity," said Thomas L Monahan III, CEO of the Corporate Executive Board.

Christy Forest, Executive Director, is tasked with consolidating and growing the service to members in Asia-Pacific. She is a proven customer strategist and builder of team, who has previously run CEB's Member Services Global operation and new business development.

"Opening the office is exciting for me as I helped forge some of CEB's earliest relationships in this region. I am honored to build the local teams that will engage with member executives to increase our impact on their businesses and grow our relationships in the region," said Forest.
