Adecco, the world’s largest staffing firm, appointed Hans Ploos van Amstel as Adecco Group CFO and a member of the executive committee, effective Sept. 1. He replaces Dominik de Daniel, who left the firm at the end of July.

Ploos van Amstel, a Dutch national, will be based in Switzerland.

He most recently was CFO of COFRA Group from 2009 to 2013, before acting as co-CEO of C&A Europe for a transition period until 2015.

From 2005 until 2009, Ploos van Amstel was Group CFO of Levi Strauss & Co. Prior to joining Levi Strauss & Co., he held several leading finance positions at Procter & Gamble over 14 years in Saudi Arabia, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. Van Amstel started his career at P&G in the Netherlands in 1989.

“I’m delighted that Hans Ploos van Amstel will join the Adecco team,” said Alain Dehaze, Adecco Group CEO designate. “Over the past 26 years, Hans has built a very strong international track record working on three continents and in six different countries. He has an in-depth understanding of the financial markets and broad experience in retail and fast-moving consumer goods businesses. Hans has worked with EVA concepts throughout his career, and together with Adecco’s strong finance organization, he will continue with the Group’s focus on strict financial control, our price discipline and cost leadership in order to further strengthen Adecco’s leading market position.”
