Leigh joins SHL from Steria, a pan-European IT and business process outsourcing company where he was Group BPO Director and a member of the executive committee. Prior to this, Leigh was the Group Business Development and Commercial Director at Xansa plc, Senior Vice-President at ipValue management Inc, a company owned by Goldman Sachs and General Atlantic partners, and a consultant at McKinsey & Company.

ìThis is an exciting time to join SHL, a growing company with enormous global potential and with 30 yearsí worth of assets that help to transform the workplace.î said Leigh.

ìThrough its highest quality and secure talent management solutions, SHL engages with companies in every aspect of the employee life cycle. Companies say that people are their biggest assets. If thatís the case then the cost of assessing those assets is minimal compared to the increased productivity and effectiveness which a company will experience if it has the right person in the right job,î he added.

SHL Group CEO, John Bateson, added: ìDavid joins at a pivotal time in SHLís history. De-listing has put us in charge of our own destiny and we have plans to double the size of the company in the next two years. With his experience in building and growing companies, David will be responsible for supporting SHLís expansion into new territories and developing existing markets.

ìTalent management is no longer an HR but a CEO issue and SHL is poised with over 30 years of experience and scientifically robust and secure tools to help companies recruit and keep the very best talent,î he concluded.
