WilsonHCG, global leader and premium provider of innovative talent solutions, today announces the addition of two executives to its C-Suite – naming Ken Bowles Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and welcoming Gary Cook as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Ken, who will be based in Tampa, Florida, previously spent 15 years at General Electric (GE) and joins WilsonHCG from technology firm, Tribridge, where he served as CFO. Gary will be based in London and joins WilsonHCG with 30 years of experience in the technology and human capital sectors, most recently with IBM’s Watson Talent division.

WilsonHCG’s Andy Zahn will transition from CFO to Executive Vice President of Corporate Development. Andy will lead the company’s Merger & Acquisition (M&A) strategy, as well as the development of new product lines, partnership channels and geographic markets.

"Gary and Ken will play critical roles in our growth, bringing innovative thinking and global expertise," said John Wilson, Founder and CEO of WilsonHCG.

For the past 12 years, he worked for leading-edge companies in the human capital space – including CHPD, Kenexa and IBM. Gary joins WilsonHCG from IBM's Watson Talent division, where was responsible for designing and delivering cloud-based HR solutions used by 40+ million people each year in 100 countries worldwide.

"WilsonHCG is a visionary company, one I am delighted to be joining," said Cook. "I look forward to the challenge of delivering technology solutions that have a positive impact on our clients as well as their business; in turn, helping to differentiate the WilsonHCG offering from our competition."
