Pat Cleary, senior VP-digital affairs in Fleishman-Hillard’s Washington office, takes the helm of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations on Dec. 5.
He will succeed interim CEO Joe Cole, who since February headed the trade group that covers 90 percent of the $70B human resources/compensation/benefits management sector.
Prior to F-H, Cleary held PA, communications and policy posts at the National Assn. of Manufacturers. He also served as chair of the National Mediation Board, deputy assistant secretary for policy at the Labor Dept. and a member of the Congressional blue ribbon panel on Amtrak.
Cleary expects the “increasing complexity of workplace regulations” makes the services of PEO companies more attractive to businesses of all sizes.
