ManpowerGroup's Transformative Leadership Moves for 2025

ManpowerGroup, a global leader in workforce solutions, has made significant leadership announcements for its European operations, set to take effect on January 1, 2025. As part of a strategic shift in its management structure, David Herranz has been appointed as the Regional President for Southern Europe, while Riccardo Barberis will expand his responsibilities to cover France, enhancing his role as the Regional President for Northern Europe.

David Herranz Takes the Helm

David Herranz, who has been serving as the Senior Vice President and Head of Sales in Europe, brings a wealth of experience and industry knowledge to his new position. His extensive background includes leadership roles across Spain, Latin America, and the U.S., where he excelled in developing market strategies and nurturing client relationships. Herranz's appointment is expected to fortify ManpowerGroup's operational efficiency and client value across Southern Europe, a region that has been identified as a key area for growth.

Jonas Prising, the Chair and CEO of ManpowerGroup, stated that Herranz's exceptional track record and passion for creating value would be instrumental in driving the organization's Southern European strategy. Herranz expressed enthusiasm for his new role, emphasizing the importance of workforce transformation in today’s rapidly evolving work environment. He is committed to leveraging the talents of his teams to enhance ManpowerGroup's market position while fostering opportunities for both clients and job seekers.

Expansion for Riccardo Barberis

In a parallel move, Riccardo Barberis will continue to lead as Regional President for Northern Europe, now also assuming responsibilities for France, which is ManpowerGroup's largest market. Following the retirement of Alain Roumilhac, Barberis's expanded role is a testament to his effective leadership and dedication to the company's mission. He will oversee new Country Manager Benoît Derigny, who will assist in managing operations in France.

Prising noted that Barberis's commitment to ManpowerGroup's core values and his pioneering approach in expanding service offerings will be vital as the company navigates the complexities of the workforce landscape.

A Commitment to Progress

Both appointments are reflective of ManpowerGroup's strategy focused on enhancing innovation, diversification, and digital transformation across Europe. As the workforce landscape continues to shift, these leadership changes come at a crucial time, allowing the company to adapt and respond effectively to the needs of the market.

Herranz, who joined ManpowerGroup in 2021, resides in Madrid with his family and is expected to lead with a client-focused approach that has proven successful in his previous roles. His leadership will be fundamental as the company strives to connect people with suitable employment opportunities, reinforcing ManpowerGroup's underlying mission.
