Until his retirement in November 2020, Humphries spent two decades at Flex, the 160,000-employee, Singapore-based, multinational electronics contract manufacturer.

Humphries stated, “I know the Westfall team and their capabilities. They are dynamic executives and committed to investing in their teams, customers, and technologies. Great examples include their new clean rooms in California, Wisconsin and Chicago, as well as their stable of proprietary technologies.”
“We are thrilled to have Paul on our board,” said Gomulka. “He is one of the industry’s leading thinkers and a valued personal mentor. We look forward to his insights into our ambitious investment strategy.”

Before heading Flex HRS, Humphries served as Flex’s executive vice president of human resources, with a strong focus on driving diversity, environmental compliance, and improving management systems.

Prior to Chatham, Humphries held several senior management positions at AlliedSignal, Honeywell and Borg-Warner Corp. He has also served for many years on the boards of both the nonprofit Silicon Valley Education Foundation (promoting STEM education) and Superior Industries International Inc. Humphries holds a bachelor’s degree (Hons) in applied social studies from Coventry University in the U.K. and postgraduate certification in human resource management from West Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education, also in England.

NIQ Introduces NIQ Cadence: A Compound AI Operating System for Marketing Effectiveness17.6.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today introduced NIQ Cadence, a compound AI operating system built to change how organizations measure marketing performance, optimize budgets, and act on what the data tells them. NIQ Cadence brings data and intelligence into one continuous environment, moving marketers off fragmented reports and onto a single system that empowers decision making.

NIQ Cadence closes that gap with one system where measurement and decision-making finally run together. “Marketing leaders don’t need more reports. They need a better rhythm,” said Jason Tate, General Manager of Marketing Effectiveness at NIQ. “NIQ Cadence moves organizations beyond disconnected data, siloed tools, and disparate insights

Winning With AI Requires Organizational Transformation, Not Speed of Adoption, Finds New Arthur D. Little Report17.6.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
To successfully embrace the power of AI, businesses need to remove organizational complexity and eliminate unnecessary work, rather than simply using it for fragmented, incremental improvements. Boards must act now to deliver this. That is the key message from AI-First or Disrupted: Beating the Nightmare Competitor, a new report from Arthur D. Little (ADL) based on concrete examples from leading organizations. Within three to five years, AI-first competitors will make faster decisions, have flatter organizations, and operate at lower costs. They will not just optimize handovers between teams, approvals, and reconciliation work; they will eliminate these complex processes entirely. AI is completely changing the economics of work and value creation, removing the need for coordination across multiple teams, while also enabling adaptive, predictive, and personalized products and services. This delivers both lower operational costs and a fundamentally stronger value proposition. However, mo
