ManpowerGroup Names Becky Frankiewicz CEO as Prising Moves to Executive Chair
MAN has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $25.15.
Summary
ManpowerGroup's board elected Becky Frankiewicz, currently President and Chief Strategy Officer, as CEO effective January 1, 2027, with a $1,150,000 base salary, a 150% target bonus and a $7,500,000 2027 long-term incentive. She becomes the fifth CEO in the company's nearly 80-year history and will also join the board. Jonas Prising, CEO since 2014, moves to Executive Chair, a role with a $1,000,000 salary, a 140% target bonus and a $5,200,000 2027 long-term incentive. This is a planned internal succession, not a sudden departure — Frankiewicz has led commercial strategy and the enterprise-wide AI integration across Manpower, Experis, and Talent Solutions since June 2025. The continuity framing limits near-term disruption, but the incoming CEO inherits a business that just returned to profit in Q2 2026 on the Jefferson Wells sale and still carries a disclosed JFTC investigation in Japan. The transition takes effect January 1, 2027.
