Leadership Shift at ASGN: Shiv Iyer to Assume President Role as Rand Blazer Transitions

RICHMOND, Va.—ASGN Incorporated (NYSE: ASGN), a prominent provider of IT services and professional solutions serving both commercial and government sectors, has announced a planned executive succession beginning March 1, 2025. In this strategic transition, Shiv Iyer, who previously led Accenture’s Consulting and Industry X operations across the Americas, will step into the President position. Rand Blazer, currently serving as President at age 75, will move to Executive Vice Chairman, continuing his involvement in strategic advisory matters.

About the Incoming Leadership

Iyer brings substantial expertise to the role, with more than two decades spent in the consulting sector. Most recently at Accenture, he oversaw the expansion of consulting and Industry X solutions throughout the United States, Canada, and Latin America, enhancing the firm’s capabilities in functional, industry, and technology advisory services. His career trajectory includes a tenure at Accenture beginning in 2010 as a managing director within the Products vertical, followed by a Market Unit Lead assignment covering the US Midwest. Before Accenture, Iyer worked at Wipro Infotech in India early in his professional journey. Academically, he holds undergraduate and graduate credentials from the University of Mumbai and an MBA from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

Recognizing Rand Blazer’s Impact

Over the course of twelve years, Rand Blazer has played a critical role in steering ASGN’s expansion and modernization efforts. By combining organic growth initiatives with strategic acquisitions, Blazer orchestrated ASGN’s transformation from a staffing-focused enterprise into a premium IT services provider. His tenure began at Apex Systems in 2007, where he assumed operational leadership. Following the 2012 merger between Apex Systems and On Assignment (then becoming ASGN), Blazer’s responsibilities expanded significantly, culminating in his appointment as President in 2022.

Executive Perspectives on the Transition

Ted Hanson, ASGN’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed confidence in the succession: “Shiv’s track record leading substantial consulting operations across the Americas, combined with his industry knowledge and M&A background, positions him well to advance ASGN’s strategic vision. His appointment will strengthen our company’s trajectory and enhance our IT solutions capabilities.”

Iyer responded positively to the opportunity: “I am honored to join ASGN’s leadership. Working alongside the executive team, I am committed to building upon the solid groundwork established by Rand and his colleagues, driving continued expansion and sustainable success.”

Regarding the transition, Rand Blazer stated: “Holding the President position at ASGN represents a career highlight. My new role will allow me to support the organization’s strategic priorities while collaborating with Shiv and the leadership team. Shiv represents an excellent addition to our executive ranks, and together we will advance innovation and maintain our commitment to serving Fortune 1000 enterprises and federal government clients with advanced IT solutions.”

Hanson also acknowledged Blazer’s contributions: “Rand has been instrumental as both leader and partner. Through his vision and commitment, working alongside our leadership, he has significantly advanced our IT services capabilities and refined our market positioning. His role in modernizing our strategy and strengthening our leadership bench has been invaluable.”
