DHR Global has appointed Priya Taneja as Chief Executive Officer, effective September 1, 2025.

Taneja will succeed Geoff Hoffmann, who guided DHR through significant global growth as CEO and will now serve as Chairman of the Board while focusing on advancing Hoffmann Family of Companies, the family’s rapidly growing private equity enterprise.

Taneja becomes the first non-family CEO in DHR’s 36-year history signalling a deliberate step forward as the firm accelerates into the next era of growth.

“It’s a true privilege to lead DHR into its next phase of growth,” said Taneja. “I’m proud to build on the strong foundation that Geoff and our team have laid over the years. My focus will remain on empowering our people and strengthening the strategic partnerships that help our clients build world-class leadership teams.”

She currently serves as President, Chief Operating Officer at DHR, a role she assumed in 2024 following more than a decade of transformative leadership within the firm.

“Priya is a dynamic, trusted, and forward-thinking leader,” said Geoff Hoffmann. “She brings a rare ability to lead a global firm while staying deeply connected to our people, our culture, and our stakeholders. This transition has been thoughtfully considered for some time, and I couldn’t be prouder to see her step into this role. She’s the ideal leader for our next chapter, and I’m confident to know that the firm is in exceptionally capable hands.”
