Since 2008, Shuman has been managing global account teams and developing global programmes for Kelly. In 2011, she moved to Singapore to focus on strategy and solutions for Kelly’s large accounts in APAC. For the past two years, Shuman has been serving as both Vice President of Global Solutions and Chief Operating Officer of Kelly’s North Asia joint venture, TS Kelly Workforce Solutions. She will retain her position as COO of the joint venture in addition to her new role.

Shuman completed a dual Global Executive MBA programme through Columbia University and the London Business School, and graduated with distinction from St Petersburg University of Economics and Finance, Russia, with a BS in Finance.
