ATLANTA, GA– January 12, 2022 – In a series of executive leadership changes, TalentQuest has named Dr. Frank Merritt as Executive Chairman. In his tenure, Dr. Merritt transformed TalentQuest from a boutique consultancy into a global SaaS talent management and learning technology and services organization. As Executive Chairman, Dr. Merritt will lead the ongoing strategy of the company while continuing to personally consult upon succession practices as well as executive team and board development. “After 30 years as CEO, I looked in the mirror and gave myself advice – it was time to turn the keys over to a highly capable CEO and executive team.”
Kevin Sessions will succeed Dr. Merritt as CEO. Sessions has held increasing leadership responsibilities throughout his career at TalentQuest – most recently as President and Chief Revenue Officer. His focus will be on accelerating the growth and success of TalentQuest by creating exceptional client experiences and leading the development and delivery of innovative talent and learning solutions. “We are blessed to have an outstanding team, industry leading products and services, and a fantastic community of clients and partners.
