Asgn Incorporated (NYSE: ASGN) has announced a change in its top leadership, with the current President, Rand Blazer, transitioning to the role of Executive Vice Chairman on March 1, 2025. This move comes as part of a planned succession, with Shiv Iyer, the former Americas Consulting and Industry X Lead Executive for Accenture, set to take over as President.

Iyer brings with him over two decades of consulting experience, having most recently led Accenture’s consulting and industry X solutions across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.

Under Blazer's guidance, ASGN's market position has been significantly bolstered. He has been instrumental in modernizing the company's go-to-market strategy and elevating the quality of its leadership. As he transitions to the new role of Executive Vice Chairman, he will continue to advise on strategic initiatives and assist in Iyer’s leadership transition.

Notably, ASGN is known for assisting corporate enterprises and government organizations in developing, implementing, and operating critical IT and business solutions through its integrated offerings.

The company’s CEO, Ted Hanson, expressed confidence in Iyer's ability to contribute to ASGN’s long-term strategic objectives and drive the company to new heights. In turn, Iyer expressed his commitment to further strengthening and building upon the strong foundation laid by Blazer and the executive team as they position ASGN for continued growth and success.
