Current President, Ranjit de Sousa, has decided to step down from his role at 
the end of June. Mr. de Sousa was promoted to President of LHH in 2018, after 
having served in other leadership roles at the organization since 2005. During 
his tenure, LHH achieved industry-leading growth by developing new, innovative 
solutions for companies and individuals, including the 2019 launch of Ezra, a 
mobile coaching app that seamlessly connects employees with LHH's world-class 
professional coaches around the globe, as well as by developing top talent 
across the organization.

"I am delighted that John Morgan has agreed to take over as President of LHH," 
Mr. de Sousa said. "John and I partnered together closely over the years to 
deliver value to our clients and build and maintain our impactful employee 
culture. He embodies our mission and purpose: to make a difference and deliver 
opportunities for people to thrive in the workplace and to make the future work 
for everyone. With John's visionary leadership, and his unparalleled 
performance that has strengthened businesses in the Americas and across global 
operations, he is poised to take LHH to its next level." 

Mr. Morgan has been instrumental in leading the company's digital 
transformation and creating a culture of innovation while helping enable future 
growth at scale. With Mr. de Sousa, he helped transform LHH into The Adecco 
Group's top performing subsidiary, with the last two years being the best in 
the company's history, posting sustained double-digit growth.

"Over the past 16 years John has provided strategic and visionary leadership 
always with the customer at the center. As a leader, he has driven innovation, 
met and exceeded profitability goals, and helped establish LHH's best-in-class, 
global delivery organization which today makes a difference to the lives of 
over half a million candidates every year," said Sergio Picarelli, President of 
the Adecco Group's Talent Solutions Global Business Unit. "We also want to 
thank Ranjit for building a strong leadership team, repositioning LHH in line 
with the market evolution, and driving innovation and market-leading growth. 
With John's expertise, we will continue to build on LHH's achievements and 
transform careers through our end-to-end solutions."

Mr. Morgan, an expert Management Consultant with over 20 years of experience in 
professional services, holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in 
Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Montclair State University, and an 
Executive MBA certificate from INSEAD. He lives in North Caldwell, N.J. with 
his wife and two children.
