Chantrain brings a background in capital markets and corporate development to the position. Since joining the company in October 2022, he has overseen mergers, acquisitions, and corporate strategy. His previous experience includes a stint leading investor relations at Firmenich, combined with a academic foundation that features a doctorate from the Turku School of Economics and a degree in management engineering from the University of Liège.

In his new capacity, Chantrain reports directly to Group Chief Financial Officer Valentina Ficaio. Ficaio noted that his previous work on the firm's acquisition and divestiture pipeline proved essential in navigating current market opportunities. Barretto, who has managed the department since 2021, leaves the company as the global staffing and technology firm looks to further integrate its Adecco, Akkodis, and LHH business units.
