Priyanshu takes over from Angelo Lo Vecchio, who led the company in India for the past two years and is now moving back to Italy to take over a larger role as Managing Director for largest staffing business line of Adecco Italy.

"After a fairly diverse work experience in the military, management consulting, and industrial technology; the next challenge for me could only be in the services sector, and HR solutions sounded about as new a space as I could find. The reason I joined Adecco however, is because of how the company integrates its core values with its work. The company is passionate about making a difference in the world of work, one job at a time. It believes it inspires individuals and organizations to work better, and has a positive impact on millions of people every day.” said Priyanshu.

I am confident with his vast experience and dynamic personality he will prove to be a great asset to the company. Priyanshu has demonstrated throughout his career the ability to work successfully in different environments, designing and leading strategies which resulted in great value creation. I look forward to welcoming him and working with him.” said Sergio Picarelli, Regional Head Italy, EE & MENA, and India
