London (ots/PRNewswire) - Alexander Mann Solutions, the leading
global provider of talent acquisition and management services, is
pleased to announce the appointment of David Leigh as Chief Executive
Officer with effect from 11th November 2019. He succeeds Rosaleen

positioned for further growth by delivering a broad range of talent
acquisition and management services to clients in the ever-changing
future world of work.

Rosaleen Blair said: "I have worked closely with our Board over
the last twelve months to identify the right individual to lead our
business for the next stage of our evolution, and I am delighted to
welcome David Leigh to the Alexander Mann Solutions family as our
next Chief Executive Officer. I have great confidence in both David
and the phenomenal talent that exists throughout the company. I'm
looking forward to supporting him, the Board and the entire
organisation in the years ahead. My passion for, and commitment to
Alexander Mann Solutions remains as strong now as it has ever been,
and I am so proud of everything we have achieved to date. I believe
the world of work is going to see seismic change as a result of
technological, demographic and cultural shifts. Our role - partnering
with our clients to design and maintain dynamic workforces that are
true strategic assets in a digitally optimised world - requires us to
continue to innovate, embracing new technologies to be an agile
partner to our clients. I see my new role as helping David to set
strategy and will work closely with our clients to ensure they get
the best from Alexander Mann Solutions."

David Leigh was most recently Chair and, prior to that, CEO of the
leading international education provider, Study Group, and CEO of
talent assessment and analytics specialist, SHL.

He said of his appointment: "I am delighted to be joining
Alexander Mann Solutions, and to be partnering with Rosaleen and with
OMERS. Alexander Mann Solutions is at the forefront of helping
clients attract, engage and retain the talent they need, and I am

Alexander Mann Solutions has an unsurpassed ability to support
clients in delivering strategic and agile workforce solutions, and I
believe strongly this will be ever more in demand as the world of
work continues to go through exponential change. The values-based
culture of Alexander Mann Solutions and the undoubtable breadth and
depth of its talented individuals is a strong foundation on which to
build, and I am thrilled to be joining such a great team."

Jonathan Mussellwhite, European Head of OMERS Private Equity,
said: "Rosaleen has been an inspirational and visionary leader for
Alexander Mann Solutions and is widely recognised for pioneering the
industry in which it operates. Rosaleen's appointment as Chair is at
an exciting stage in the evolution of the company and we are looking
forward to continuing to partner with her in her new role and as a
significant shareholder and investor in the business. I am delighted
to welcome David to Alexander Mann Solutions. His appointment as CEO
brings not just a great successor to Rosaleen, but someone with
expertise in leveraging technology and data to drive company
performance. We believe the company is exceptionally well placed for
its next phase of growth and are looking forward to working with
