A DTZ spokesman tells GlobeSt.com that Idzik will be based in London, but could not provide any further information at this point regarding current or past responsibilities or other details about the move. Idzik previously held the COO role for Barclays Capital Ltd. Prior to the roles at Barclays, he was a partner at Booz, Allen & Hamilton, now Booz & Co.
The appointment follows DTZ's announcement in June 2008 that Mark Struckett, who has been DTZ's CEO since 1994, had decided to step down from the board. He will remain with DTZ in an advisory capacity.
Tim Melville-Ross, DTZ chairman, says in a prepared statement that Idzik's track record of running a "significant international business will be invaluable as we continue to grow and diversify DTZ. In particular, his experience of developing people and building teams to meet evolving client requirements across the global markets and his client-facing ethic is ideally suited to our business strategy. We will also undoubtedly benefit greatly from his insight into the financial markets during these challenging times."
Paul Idzik says that he hopes to help take DTZ to its next level of performance. "DTZ's commitment to client focus and its evolution to date provides an attractive platform for future progress," he says.
