Accenture has named Ed Engles office managing director of its Metro D.C. office, overseeing a region stretching from Baltimore to Richmond, the global professional services company announced Thursday.

Engles steps into the shoes of Marty Rodgers, who has been filling that role for almost a decade while also serving as Accenture’s market unit lead for the Southern U.S. since 2019. Rodgers will continue to lead Accenture in the South.

Engles has led the North America Service Practice for Accenture Song, which provides services including growth, product and experience design and creative, media and marketing strategy, since 2022. He will continue in that role, leading a team of more than 500 employees.

As office managing director for Accenture in Metro D.C., Engles’ responsibilities will include fostering client relationships and boosting community engagement. He will primarily work out of Accenture’s Rosslyn office, according to a company spokesperson.

Engles, who has a degree in marketing and management from Loyola University in Maryland, is active in his community and serves as executive sponsor for Accenture’s 11th Street Bridge project, which supports local and minority-owned small and medium businesses with a mobile kiosk in Washington, D.C.

For fiscal 2023, Accenture reported revenue of $64.1 billion, an increase of 4% over the previous year. The global company has about 742,000 employees in more than 120 companies.
