The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has announced that Peter Cheese will take over as chief executive.

With his high-level, global experience of business and his track record in HR thought leadership, he is ideally placed to lead the next phase of the CIPD’s ambitious plans.

“Peter is committed to extending both the value the CIPD gives to its members, and supporting the growth of the HR profession to deliver ever greater value to global workforces and businesses. In our search, in keeping with our aspirations for the CIPD, we set our sights high and were delighted to be able to select Peter from an exceptionally strong field of candidates.”
