About

Scaling a global workforce should accelerate growth, not expose your organisation to compliance risk. Hi, I'm Connor! As President, EMEA at CXC, I advise and support HR, Procurement, Legal and Finance leaders navigating the complexity of engaging contractors across borders. As most leaders know, international expansion creates opportunity. But it also creates workforce risk... Misclassification exposure, fragmented payroll, regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage. My focus is helping organisations bring clarity, structure and governance to that complexity. We support mid-market and enterprise organisations to: - Engage contractors compliantly in 100+ countries - Mitigate misclassification and co-employment risk - Simplify global payroll and multi-currency payments - Create visibility across fragmented workforce data - Stay audit-ready as labour laws evolve Since 2015, I’ve been responsible for leading and shaping CXC’s EMEA business, partnering with organisations across technology, life sciences, energy, financial services, consulting and beyond to scale their workforce strategies responsibly. Our approach is Human+: Blending smart automation and proprietary compliance technology with seasoned local expertise. So you can hire, manage and stay compliant anywhere in the world, faster, cleaner and without the chaos. Beyond CXC, I host The Open Talent Report, where I’ve interviewed 100+ global leaders on workforce strategy, AI, borderless hiring and the future of compliance. I regularly speak at SIA CWS, GigE and Deloitte Future of Work events, and my perspectives have been featured in Forbes and the Financial Times. I was honoured to be recognised on Staffing Industry Analysts’ Staffing 100 Europe list, a reflection of the work our team does to simplify global workforce complexity. Outside of work, I’m based in Sligo, Ireland, husband to an incredibly supportive wife and proud father of two brilliant daughters. They’re a constant reminder that the future of work shouldn’t just be efficient and compliant, but fair and sustainable too. If you’re navigating global workforce complexity, follow for practical insight on compliance, borderless hiring and the future of work.
