Current President, Ranjit de Sousa, has decided to step down from his role at the end of June. Mr. de Sousa was promoted to President of LHH in 2018, after having served in other leadership roles at the organization since 2005.

"John and I partnered together closely over the years to deliver value to our clients and build and maintain our impactful employee culture. He embodies our mission and purpose: to make a difference and deliver opportunities for people to thrive in the workplace and to make the future work for everyone. With John's visionary leadership, and his unparalleled performance that has strengthened businesses in the Americas and across global operations, he is poised to take LHH to its next level."
Mr. Morgan has been instrumental in leading the company's digital transformation and creating a culture of innovation while helping enable future growth at scale. With Mr. de Sousa, he helped transform LHH into The Adecco Group's top performing subsidiary, with the last two years being the best in the company's history, posting sustained double-digit growth.
"Over the past 16 years John has provided strategic and visionary leadership always with the customer at the center. As a leader, he has driven innovation, met and exceeded profitability goals, and helped establish LHH's best-in-class, global delivery organization which today makes a difference to the lives of over half a million candidates every year," said Sergio Picarelli, President of the Adecco Group's Talent Solutions Global Business Unit. "We also want to thank Ranjit for building a strong leadership team, repositioning LHH in line with the market evolution, and driving innovation and market-leading growth. With John's expertise, we will continue to build on LHH's achievements and transform careers through our end-to-end solutions."
Mr. Morgan, an expert Management Consultant with over 20 years of experience in professional services, holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Montclair State University, and an Executive MBA certificate from INSEAD.
