Danny McCoy, CEO of Ibec, with Frank Gleeson, CEO of the National Association of Convenience Stores.
Former Ibec president Frank Gleeson has been appointed as CEO of the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), based in Washington DC.
Frank, who was also previously CEO of Aramark, will succeed Henry Armour, outgoing NACS president and CEO. He will be only the fourth CEO in the organisation’s 64-year history.
Danny McCoy, CEO of Ibec, said: "When it comes to business representation, NACS is a world leader in representing the interests of the retail and fuel industries. During his time as Ibec president, and through his chairmanship of Ibec’s retail ireland and energy committee, Frank was an extremely effective advocate for Irish businesses across many sectors.
“Frank's appointment as CEO of a leading global trade association is a testament to his success in leading large organisations such as Aramark and his long standing commitment to business representation throughout his career."
The global trade association is the leading representative body for the convenience and fuel retailing industry. Founded in 1961, NACS has thousands of member companies, primarily in the US but also in about 50 other countries.
NACS serves as a trusted advisor to over 1,300 retailer and 1,600 supplier members in more than 50 countries. It is governed by a 29-member board comprised of convenience retailers of all sizes from around the world.
