Recruitment company, Adecco Group, names Denis Machuel as its new Chief Executive Officer.
In a significant shift for the global workforce solutions and employability powerhouse, The Adecco Group has announced Denis Machuel as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective July 1, 2022. The move comes after the current CEO, Alain Dehaze, will be stepping down after nearly seven years at the helm.
Machuel, a highly experienced and proven international CEO, brings a wealth of knowledge to his new role, with a leadership background in global business services, technology, and engineering consulting.

His tenure at Sodexo also saw the group position itself as a globally leading talent partner, with key acquisitions and divestitures to strengthen the portfolio.
Machuel's appointment to the top position at The Adecco Group follows a month-long handover period with Dehaze in June. Jean-Christophe Deslarzes, Chair of the group, commented that Machuel is the right CEO for the group's next chapter.
