Azione Unlimited Names McCarthy as Interim Director

It’s always tough to follow in the footsteps of an icon, but at least for the time being that’s what Azione Unlimited has tasked new Interim Director Patrick McCarthy with, taking over for Richard Glikes.

With over five years’ experience and successful track record as Director of New Business Development and Member Services, McCarthy steps into the role following Glikes’ 13-year tenure as President and Chief Creative Officer. He now serves as a Senior Consultant for the group in addition to his new work with national integrator Daisy.

During his tenure as Interim Director, McCarthy will actively contribute to Azione Unlimited‘s search for a permanent director, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of potential leaders to secure the organization’s best future, according to the group.

“I am honored to assume the role of Interim Director at such a pivotal time for Azione Unlimited,” says McCarthy.

“I look forward to building on our solid foundation of success and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together. My commitment is to lead our organization to new heights of excellence, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the industry and continue to deliver unmatched value to our members.”
