ANNOUNCEMENT: CEO Transition to Continue Global Growth
After 4.5 years of transformative leadership, during which Amberjack doubled its revenues, expanded into APAC, and entered new sectors across EMEA, CEO Dan Speed will transition into a non-executive role on the Board. Dan remains a committed shareholder and investor in the business.
Amberjack is pleased to announce the appointment of Darren Lancaster as its new Chief Executive Officer. Darren brings extensive executive experience, most recently as CEO EMEA & Americas at Hudson RPO, where over his 14.5 year tenure, he led the company through significant growth and transformation. Darren will now spearhead Amberjack’s next phase of global growth, service expansion, and product innovation.
“I’m genuinely excited to be joining Amberjack at such an important time,” said Darren Lancaster. “The company’s unique tech-enabled model, proprietary assessment expertise, and bold plans for international growth make this a rare and exciting opportunity. Dan has built an incredible foundation, and I’m looking forward to working with the team to take Amberjack into its next chapter.”
Amberjack’s differentiated position as a tech-enabled RP0, underpinned by its own end-to-end intellectual property continues to drive market-leading performance. Several new technology products are scheduled for release in the coming year, further accelerating the company’s innovation trajectory.
In addition, Amberjack has secured funding for strategic bolt-on acquisitions and international expansion, targeted within the next 12 months.
The company’s momentum is reflected in its inclusion in the Thames Valley SME Growth 100 (2025) and multiple industry awards received this year.
Chris Herrmannsen, Chairman at Amberjack Global commented “Darren’s appointment marks an exciting new chapter for Amberjack. His proven leadership and global experience will be instrumental in delivering even greater value to our clients.”
Exciting times ahead!
