Huron Announces Board Leadership Transition<\/b><\/p>\n

Hugh E. Sawyer has been appointed as independent, non-executive Chairman of the Board, effective January 1, 2025<\/i><\/p>\n

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nGlobal professional services firm Huron (NASDAQ: HURN), today announced that its board of directors appointed Hugh E. Sawyer as its independent, non-executive chairman to succeed John McCartney effective Jan. 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

\nMr. McCartney will continue to serve on the company\u2019s board as a director. He has served as the non-executive chairman of Huron\u2019s board since May 2010 and as a board member since October 2004.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI would like to express my deep appreciation to John for his outstanding leadership of Huron\u2019s board over the years and his guidance in my transition to CEO in 2023,\u201d said Mark Hussey<\/a>, CEO and president of Huron<\/a>. \u201cI am also looking forward to Hugh moving into the chair role and continuing our strong legacy of client-focused solutions and innovation,\u201d added Hussey. \u201cWe are confident that Hugh will bring valuable insights to drive our strategic initiatives forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMr. McCartney\u2019s transition aligns with his previously announced intention that he would step down as non-executive chairman prior to the expiration of his current term in May 2025. The transition reinforces the company\u2019s commitment to its multi-year board refresh process to ensure the board has a diverse mix of expertise, skills and business acumen to evaluate and support the company\u2019s strategy going forward.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt has been an honor to serve as chairman of Huron\u2019s board of directors during such an exciting and pivotal time for the company, and I look forward to continuing to support the board and management as we work to execute our strategic vision,\u201d said Mr. McCartney. \u201cHaving Hugh assume the role of non-executive chairman reflects the successful outcome of a carefully considered and thorough transition process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMr. Sawyer has served as a member of the board since February 2018, serves as chair of the compensation committee and serves on the audit and the finance and capital allocation committees. Mr. Sawyer has held leadership roles as president or chief executive officer of nine companies and also served on fourteen public or private boards of directors, including as chairman. Mr. Sawyer served as a managing director at Huron, from January 2010 to May 2017, and led the Operational Improvement Service Line for Huron’s Business Advisory Practice. He has more than 40 years of experience leading operational improvements and strategic transformations for both public and private companies across a diverse group of industries.<\/p>\n
