• Janet Halma, previously in the role of Chief Customer Officer,
  will now serve as Chief Revenue Officer with a focus on SilkRoad’s
  global revenue generation strategies. A senior global executive with
  over 25 years in the IT industry, Halma will continue solving
  enterprise clients’ business challenges around recruiting, strategic
  onboarding and developing and retaining world-class talent. Her deep
  understanding of SilkRoad’s client base will bring innovative thinking
  that aligns with clients’ unique cultures and talent challenges.
• Michael Lloyd will lead SilkRoad’s international business
  efforts for SilkRoad as Managing Director and is based in Sydney,
  Australia. With more than 15 years in software, technology and
  consulting, Lloyd brings a unique, global perspective in driving
  successful business outcomes from technology-based programs. In his
  general management role, Lloyd will lead SilkRoad talent to support
  the success of clients in the APAC and EMEA regions. As strategic
  onboarding becomes a required business capability for global
  organizations, Lloyd will work collaboratively with SilkRoad’s
  domestic talent to support client success seamlessly across the world.
• Anuj Gupta will serve as Chief Client Officer, bringing highly
  innovative and creative solutions to drive business outcomes for
  clients with SilkRoad’s Global Service Group. The Global Service Group
  offers a compelling value combination of software products and
  services. Gupta’s team provides deep subject matter expertise to
  SilkRoad clients as they face new challenges in labor and workforce
  management due to technological advancements. Additionally, the Global
  Service Group delivers SilkRoad’s business capabilities through a
  managed services approach, tailored to client requirements. Prior to

  years working across multiple health care and IT disciplines.
• Asif Malik, SilkRoad’s new Chief Information Officer (CIO), is
  responsible for product development, R&D and enterprise information
  technology. Whether clients consume SilkRoad’s business capabilities
  through SaaS, hosted-solutions, managed services or combinations
  thereof, the organization is committed to offering these solutions on
  a secure and resilient infrastructure platform. Malik brings more than
  20 years of expertise in IT across a variety of disciplines, having
  orchestrated infrastructure modernizations and upgrades for business
  continuity, cloud migrations, application rationalization and data
  center operations implementations at large global organizations. Prior
  to SilkRoad, Malik served Forsythe Technology for the past 19 years as
  Senior Director and saw it through its recent acquisition by Sirius
  Computer Solutions.

“Each of these executives’ immense experience and wisdom will be
invaluable to our client base. Much like the experience of CIOs earlier
this decade when they faced a transformational window of their
own—cloud, SaaS, digital and open source usage—HR leaders face a similar
transformation window. They need to attract, onboard, develop and retain
talent in a hypercompetitive market, while also planning for AI’s
growing impact across organizational structure, job roles and
skillsets,” says Robert Dvorak, President and CEO of SilkRoad
Technology. “HR professionals need to plan and execute workforce
transformation that requires world-class strategic onboarding business
capabilities wrapped with data-driven Global Advisory Services. I’m
confident each member of our leadership team will deliver unsurpassed
service to our clients that enables the transformation they need,
unified with their business strategies. HR leadership has a window of
opportunity to rise to the challenge of planning and managing workforce
transformation, and SilkRoad is making the talent and technology
investments to ensure our clients succeed in their efforts.”
