Dave is a highly engaged director who already works closely with our executive management team, so he will hit the ground running in the CEO role and support a seamless transition for the team and clients.”
Foley continued, “As we discussed when we released our second quarter financial results, the Board has been focused on succession planning for months. Today's announcement is the result of that work, and we are confident in Dave's ability to jumpstart Alight’s next chapter following the completion of significant milestones including the technology transformation and divestiture of the Payroll & Professional Services business. On behalf of the Board, I look forward to working closely with Dave and thank Stephan for his tireless efforts in setting the vision for Alight’s future.”
“I am honored to lead Alight at this pivotal time,” said CEO Dave Guilmette. “Our technology transformation and recent divestiture have laid the groundwork for us to emerge as a much stronger company with a significantly improved financial profile. I know Alight’s colleagues are intensely focused and inspired by the opportunity to partner with our clients to deliver success for them and their people. Working closely with our executive team and Board of Directors, I already see many opportunities for us to move even faster in addressing these evolving client needs and reorienting around technology-rich services that enhance our competitiveness and deliver even more value for Alight’s clients.”
