After three years as Chairman of Harvest’s Supervisory Board, during which Leo Apotheker accompanied the company’s exceptional trajectory and its change of shareholder, the time has come to pass the baton. Léo wishes to dedicate more time to a project that is particularly close to his heart. Thank you Léo.
We are delighted to welcome Dan Olley, as Executive Chair of Harvest. He brings more than 30 years’ experience leading customer focused innovation, technology enabled growth and digital transformation in businesses across regulated financial services, healthcare, consumer analytics and information services.
