Joe Muscat : EY Announces New Leadership Appointments in Silicon Valley : Business Wire/San Mateo Daily Journal
Alumnus Joe Muscat ’90 will be responsible for maintaining high-performing client-serving teams, developing EY’s people, fostering a strong culture of exceptional client service, and furthering strong relationships with community, government, and business leaders in Silicon Valley as the recently appointed Managing Partner of Ernst & Young LLP’s Redwood Shores office.
An excerpt from the announcement:
“Joe and Ibi are exceptional leaders and I am confident that they’ll thrive in their new roles and build on the impressive legacies of their predecessors,” said Kay Matthews, Ernst & Young LLP West Region Managing Partner. “Their commitment to building a better working world and deep experience working with high-growth entrepreneurs and leading technology companies will serve our clients and the Silicon Valley community well.”
An article for The San Mateo Daily Journal interviewed Muscat on the challenge of helping nascent, high-growth companies manage explosive growth when they go public. With 27 years of advising companies taking steps towards worldwide recognition, Muscat welcomes the challenge with open arms as he knows well the incredible opportunities that lie before these companies.
An excerpt from the interview:
[Joe Muscat] has immersed himself in what makes high-growth companies successful ever since he interned with the company [Ernst & Young] in 1989. Since Muscat started working with early stage companies, he has worked within a wide range of industries, from networking and minicomputers to technology and life sciences companies. For Muscat, the quick turnaround among the companies Fortune 500 lists as the most successful companies every year is indicative of the rich ecosystem surrounding companies looking to break onto the scene.
“What that speaks to is that there is continual innovation,” he said.
