The chief executives of Hexagon Human Capital and Hudson/Europe exited their respective companies during August. At Hexagon, departing CEO Jonathan Wright (top left) stepped down as the group of companies announced it would refocus strategy on day-to-day operational management and away from the ‘buy and build’ growth model it had adopted in better times. The departure of Hudson/Europe CEO Christine Raynaud (top right) was announced on 26 August. Hudson Highland chairman and CEO Jon Chait took over the reins in Europe on an interim basis.
