TalentNeuron Appoints David Wilkins Chief Executive Officer

Promotion of Product and Strategy Leader Marks New Chapter for Workforce Intelligence Platform

LONDON, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TalentNeuron announced today the appointment of David Wilkins as Chief Executive Officer. David transitions from the role of Chief Product and Strategy Officer, where he spearheaded TalentNeuron's technology transformation, product vision, and strategic direction since February 2025. He brings 30 years of experience in human capital management to the role, including senior leadership positions at Oracle, Taleo, and HealthcareSource. The appointment takes effect immediately.

David's appointment reflects the company's strategic direction and the strength of the team it has built to execute against it, a trajectory recognised by Everest Group, which named TalentNeuron a Leader in the Skills Intelligence PEAK Matrix and a Luminary in Work Intelligence and Workforce Redesign.

"David's appointment reflects both the company's strategic direction and the strength of the team we have built to execute against it," said Chris Mairs, Managing Director of Leeds Equity Partners. "Over the past two years, TalentNeuron has undergone a significant transformation: expanding its offering to incorporate strategic workforce planning solutions, deepening its proprietary data assets, and investing heavily in AI, analytics, and product development. TalentNeuron is uniquely positioned in a rapidly expanding market, and we are excited to see what David and TalentNeuron accomplish in their next chapter."

"AI is changing what work looks like, which skills matter, and how quickly companies need to adapt," said David Wilkins, CEO of TalentNeuron. "TalentNeuron was built for this moment. We have the data, the platform, and now the team to help our customers move from reaction to strategy. I am energised by what we have built, and even more so by what we are going to build next for our customers."
