As previously announced in January, following the departure of Linda Galipeau, who had led Randstad’s North American business, Randstad has formerly appointed Rebecca Henderson and Karen Fichuk to the Executive Board. Shareholders formally adopted the proposed appointments at yesterday’s annual general meeting.

Henderson, previously CEO of Randstad Sourceright, will now be responsible for global businesses, which include Randstad Sourceright, Monster, RiseSmart and Global Client Solutions.

Fichuk will become CEO of Randstad’s North American business. She is an American national with more than 25 years of experience as a leader at The Nielsen Co., most recently as president of developed markets and strategic initiatives, responsible for North America, Western Europe, and Australia/New Zealand.

Randstad’s executive board now comprises six people, and the company was keen to highlight in the announcement that its percentage of women on the board has increased to 33%.
