“Being able to benchmark with other European executives was immeasurably valuable. Quickly gaining knowledge from the EACC about taxes, immigration, labor, legalities and other business considerations helped us avoid roadblocks that could have slowed our business growth. Being integrally aligned with the EACC helped us establish an office in Cincinnati in 2003 with only a handful of employees growing to over 350 employees today. dunnhumbyUSA will continue to support the EACC by Stuart Aitken, our new COO and others within our organization,”

Simon Hay, CEO, dunnhumby
