Hudson Adds New U.K. Head

February 1, 2010 – Hudson, a global provider of recruitment and talent management services, has added Tim Drake as the head of its talent management division in the U.K. Mr. Drake joins Hudson from AB InBev, where he was director of people continuity and led the talent management and succession strategy for Western Europe over the last five years. “I’m very pleased Tim has chosen to bring his enthusiasm and expertise to Hudson. After a difficult year, talent is very much on everyone’s agenda for 2010, whether in the public sector or private,” said Marc Timmerman, executive director of talent management for Europe at Hudson. “The importance of talent management often only comes home to senior leaders when they lose some of their most valued employees. They must think ahead and plan the next generation of leaders, as critically as they would they would with any major brands or service offerings.”
