Ms. Shuman fills the executive position vacated by Leif Agnéus, who resigned (effective September 1) in order to devote time to a variety of volunteer efforts and humanitarian causes. Mr. Agnéus, who is credited with streamlining Kelly's EMEA and APAC operations and returning them to profitability, will remain with Kelly in an advisory capacity through the end of 2013.
"The progress that Leif and his team have made in EMEA and APAC will continue under Natalia's leadership," said George Corona, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Kelly Services.

She will seamlessly provide the direction and innovative solutions that our clients, and employees, associate with Kelly."

She joined Kelly in 1997 and was responsible for successfully launching Kelly's recruitment business in the Moscow market.

In 2005, she joined Kelly's global client relationships team, where she was responsible for developing and executing solutions for Fortune 100 clients. Since 2008, Ms. Shuman has been managing global account teams and developing global programs for Kelly. In 2011, she moved to Singapore to focus on strategy and solutions for Kelly's large accounts in APAC. For the past two years, Ms. Shuman has been serving as both Vice President of Global Solutions and Chief Operating Officer of Kelly's North Asia joint venture, TS Kelly Workforce Solutions.
