Geoff Barnes, CEO and president, Baker Tilly International, said: "Our thanks go to Ted for his commitment and enthusiasm. During his tenure our focus was firmly on building representation across the region, ensuring we have the right firm in each of the region's key markets.

Under his leadership the network has grown in the region from 30 member firms to more than 80, with combined annual revenues in the region growing from US$500m to US$1.13bn.
