Under his direction, the company has strengthened its brands, expanded higher-value talent and workforce management capabilities, and built a business that is more digital, diversified, and resilient. Following an extensive succession planning process, we are very pleased to endorse Becky as the next CEO for ManpowerGroup."

"Leading ManpowerGroup over the past twelve years has been a great honor," said Prising, "Becky and I have worked closely together on ManpowerGroup's ongoing transformation, and I've seen firsthand the exceptional leadership, strategic perspective and deep commitment she brings to the Company. I have every confidence in Becky as she leads ManpowerGroup into its next chapter. I look forward to working closely with her to ensure a seamless transition, and supporting her and the team in my new role as Executive Chair."

"I appreciate the confidence the Board and Jonas have placed in me, and the partnership Jonas and I have built," Frankiewicz said. "ManpowerGroup's strong legacy and clear purpose - grounded in our belief that meaningful and sustainable employment can change lives - are what first drew me to the company and remains the foundation for what comes next. As we enter our next chapter, we have a significant opportunity to accelerate our strategy, expand our AI capabilities, and deliver greater value through our 'Human First, Digital Always' approach. Together with our teams around the world, I look forward to helping clients and talent navigate the next frontier of the transformation of work."
