Effective June 30^th, Roger Fordyce will step down as CEO of Hudson and the North America region. Jordi Martín-Consuegra will then take over the role of Chief Executive Officer of the North American cluster reporting to Eugenio Andrades, Chief Executive Officer Operations of the Group.

Roger has been with our North American organization since 1988, when he joined Hudson as District Manager.
