Jackie Orme is certainly worthy of new CIPD role

Having worked as part of Jackie Orme’s broader human resources team (‘Surprise appointment to Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) job’, Personnel Today, 16 October), I can tell the doubters that she’ll be a very strong leader both within our profession and externally. She ran a very tight ship in PepsiCo and thoroughly deserves the opportunity.

With regard to the ‘unknown’ comment, I would say that there are those that talk about it, and there are those that don’t.

Jackie is definitely a leader who makes stuff happen. I am looking forward to the CIPD getting ship shape under her leadership.
