TULSA, Okla., March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hogan Assessments, a global leader in personality assessment and leadership development, has named Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic as Chief Executive Officer. He previously served as the company's VP of Research and Innovation.

"Tomas is a tremendous asset to the organization," said Aaron Tracy, Hogan's Chief Operating Officer. "Spearheading our product development efforts for the past two years, he has injected an incredible amount of creativity in our products. As we look to the future, this transition made perfect sense for us."

As CEO, Chamorro-Premuzic will lead the development and execution of Hogan's growth strategy with a view to implementing the company's long-term vision: to maintain its position as the leading independent provider of scientific assessment solutions for enhancing individual and organizational effectiveness. In addition, he will continue to oversee product development and innovation.

Dr. Robert Hogan, the company's founder, will serve as President and Chairman of the Board, and will take an increased role in product development efforts alongside Chamorro-Premuzic.

"Dr. Hogan has been a huge mentor of mine for many years – in fact, ever since I first embarked on my academic studies in organizational psychology," Chamorro-Premuzic said. "We at Hogan remain committed to our foundation of being the science of personality, and we will continue to make investments in our future to maintain our status as the last independent business in our industry."

In addition, Chamorro-Premuzic joins Robert Hogan, Rodney Warrenfeltz, Ryan Ross, Aaron Tracy, Christopher Duffy and Natalie Tracy as partners in the company.
