ISS Hires Nicole Ballard in Senior VP Role

 

ISS has hired Nicole Ballard, who will be responsible for driving growth in the firm’s Pharma & Life Sciences and Industry and Manufacturing segments. 

Ballard joined the ISS Group Commercial team on April 19, 2021, as a strategic partner to the global and country-based Commercial teams as ISS works to add to its portfolio of clients. She brings an extensive record of developing solutions for clients and is based in the United States (Nashville, Tennessee), making her a key resource and subject matter expert for her ISS North America colleagues.

WeWork Executive Joins Kadence

 

Kadence, the hybrid workplace specialist previously known as Chargifi, has welcomed former WeWork executive Shaun Ritchie as a board advisor to further drive adoption of its new hybrid-working software platform.

After co-founding the workplace experience platform Teem in 2013, Ritchie oversaw the company’s growth as it became a market-leader, and helped establish this new category of enterprise software. The company was acquired by flexible workplace disruptor WeWork, in 2018.

During his tenure as Chief Workplace Experience Officer at WeWork, Ritchie helped to further define the modern vision of flexible, people-focused work patterns and spaces.

Ritchie commented: “Our working patterns and locations have been evolving for some time now. By taking an employee-first, rather than space-first, perspective, Kadence is at the forefront of tech that supports the emergent hybrid working model. Productivity and wellbeing increasingly hinges on successfully navigating and managing the balance between home and office working.”
