Singapore – OpenX, an omnichannel supply chain platform, has recently announced that it has promoted Jeanne Leasure to chief people officer.
She will be responsible for expanding the company’s global operating team while maintaining employees as the core drivers of the company’s growth and success. She will also continue to report to the company’s CEO, John Gentry.
According to the company, Leasure’s addition since joining in early 2023 has been instrumental in shaping OpenX’s people strategy, with the introduction of top-tier initiatives to attract and retain top talent.

Leasure, on the other hand, expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating, “From day one, I saw that OpenX’s greatest competitive advantage is its team and culture. I’m looking forward to continuing to build an environment where employees are thrilled to work here and can in turn drive the best performance of their careers.”
