BVC Logistics appoints industry veteran Bobby Joseph as President - HR

 

India-based domestic secure logistics enterprise, BVC Logistics, has appointed Bobby Joseph as President - HR, who continues to be based in Mumbai for this role. He comes with 25 years of experience in HR, and was previously Director - HR in an HR consulting firm. He has also tenured with Larsen & Toubro, Transworld Group, BJN Hotels, Writer Corporation, and Brinks.

Uday Chinai, Chairman of BVC Logistics, said: "We want to provide the next 10,000 BVCites with the best working experience of their career and in our journey, HR is the enabler of business. Bobby’s knowledge and experience in the HR and talent acquisition industry will lead us forward in achieving our vision."

Joseph added: 'I look forward to playing an active part in the company’s continued success and development. We would be partnering with NGOs and other non-profitable organisations, to support LGBT and transgender communities, in our constant endeavour to give back to the society through this initiative."

In this role, he anticipates the HR division will be moving out from its conventional transactional role and play a more strategic partner to the business through people analytics, AI and other interventions, to realise the dream of being a 'preferred employer of choice'.

Cloud-based compensation software and data provider, PayScale, Inc., has announced that Scott Torrey (pictured) will take on the role of CEO in a planned succession from CEO Mike Metzger (who has led the company as CEO for the last 15 years), effective August 26, 2019.

"I’m proud of what our team has built and the forward-thinking compensation approach we’ve enabled for thousands of businesses and millions of employees," said Metzger of the transition. "At this stage, I’m pleased to hand the reins to Scott who shares PayScale’s cultural values and has proven skills in scaling a highly successful SaaS company to billions of dollars in revenue."

Torrey, a Seattle native, is a former 20-year senior executive with SAP/Concur. He said: "I'm thrilled to assume the CEO role of a market-leading company, well positioned for significant growth in an area important to all employees and the organisations that employ them."

In May of this year, Francisco Partners invested in PayScale with a strategy to expand the company’s lead in the compensation market. "We’re delighted to welcome Scott to the PayScale team and are excited for the future of PayScale," said Adam Solomon, Principal at Francisco Partners.

"Our thanks to Mike Metzger for a tremendous job in leading PayScale to this stage and for his true partnership over the last several months."
