IRVING, Texas, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XBP Global Holdings, Inc. ("XBP Global" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: XBP), a multinational technology and services company orchestrating mission-critical systems that enable hyper-automation and digital transformation, announced the appointment of Acquelia Colaco as its Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO).
Acquelia will lead the global people's agenda across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with a mandate to align talent, leadership, and culture to this next phase of AI-led transformation.
Her focus will include advancing XBP Global's people strategy anchored in accountability, belief, and competence, while building a future-ready workforce that can operate effectively alongside intelligent systems, strengthening leadership capability, and enhancing employee experience across regions. She will also drive organizational effectiveness and HR transformation initiatives that enable greater agility, scalability, and performance in an increasingly automated enterprise.
Acquelia brings over 20 years of experience leading HR transformation across global organizations. She has held senior leadership roles at Tesco Business Solutions, Infosys Technologies, IBM Global Process Services, and RND Softech, where she led large, multi-country workforces and partnered with business leaders to deliver measurable enterprise impact.
Andrej Jonovic, Chief Executive Officer of XBP Global, said, "We're in the early stages of a disruption that is redefining how every enterprise thinks about staffing, skills and organizational design. The enterprises that will thrive are not the ones pretending this is not happening, nor the ones treating it purely as a cost exercise but rather those deliberately redesigning around human strengths, especially the human accountability factor. That is the mandate Acquelia is stepping into, and we are very excited that she will play a critical role in ensuring our people are built up, not merely reorganized, in this fundamental shift."
Acquelia Colaco, Chief Human Resources Officer, XBP Global, added, "The challenge is not just adopting AI, but building an organization that can evolve with it. Our focus is on developing talent, leadership, and ways of working that enable people to operate alongside intelligent systems at scale. That's how we translate strategy into sustained performance."
