Method today announced the appointment of Robbie Vann-Adibe and Al Aguirre as Co-Chief Executive Officers, and the creation of a new executive position for Method's founder, Kevin Farnham. Aguirre and Vann-Adibe will focus on distinct elements of Method’s business strategy, together positioning Method to offer its clients an unparalleled level of industry expertise and execution.
