ManpowerGroup have announced the appointment of Michael Stull as Country Manager of ManpowerGroup UK. Stull will take on leadership responsibilities and drive innovation for the business, including its industry-leading brands, Manpower, Experis, Talent Solutions, and Brook Street.
“I am excited by the opportunity to lead ManpowerGroup in one of the major markets in the world and to build upon the successful foundation laid by my predecessor,” said Stull. “By aligning talent with demand, we can carry forward ManpowerGroup’s mission of connecting people with meaningful work. Through skills-based matching, we can help the UK foster more engaged, inclusive workforces and achieve increased economic participation.”
Stull’s journey began at ManpowerGroup’s global headquarters in Milwaukee, WI, in global marketing where his role expanded to include leadership of global and North America Marketing. In 2017, he moved into a brand role, leading Manpower in the US. In September 2022, Stull was appointed talent solutions leader in the UK and moved with his family to London. More recently, his leadership responsibilities expanded to include overseeing Manpower and Brook Street.
In announcing this leadership transition, Riccardo Barberis, ManpowerGroup President, Northern Europe Region, said: “I’ve worked closely with Michael for the past couple years since he joined us from North America. Aside from being a great people leader, Michael’s diverse experience spanning marketing, brand, operations, and finance will be a great asset as we chart the next stage of growth for the business connecting even more candidates to meaningful work and clients to skilled talent.”
Stull takes over from Mark Cahill, who is stepping down after more than 19 years leading the UK business. Cahill will remain in the organisation supporting Stull and the ManpowerGroup UK senior leadership team during the transition.
“I would like to thank Mark for his decades-long commitment to ManpowerGroup,” added Barberis. “Over the years, he has made a significant impact on the business, our industry, and people. Mark’s inspirational leadership, mentorship, and genuine care for his team have played a crucial role in our success as we navigated a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry.”
