Stanley adds executive leader
Stanley Black & Decker announced the appointment of John T. Lucas to senior vice president, chief human resources officer (CHRO).
He will join the executive team and report to Donald Allan, Jr., president and CEO of Stanley Black & Decker.
“John brings a highly distinguished track record with world-class expertise in human capital management that will be instrumental to enabling the long-term success of our business and culture,” said Allan.
In this role, said the company, Lucas will be responsible for the company’s global human resources strategy and operations; talent management, including recruitment and leadership development; and compensation and benefits.
Current interim CHRO Deborah K. Wintner will assume the role of CHRO for the company’s largest segment, tools and outdoor.
“I would also like to thank Deborah for her leadership and significant contributions to the global HR function as interim CHRO and congratulate her on her appointment to CHRO for tools and outdoor,” said Allan.
Lucas has more than 35 years of human resources experience, said the firm, serving for the last 10 years as the most senior human resources executive for global multinational companies in the Fortune 50 and Fortune 150, including Lockheed Martin and Goodyear.
“As the company celebrates its 180th anniversary in 2023, I look forward to contributing to its rich history and culture as we advance Stanley Black & Decker’s business transformation while keeping its high-performing employees at the core,” said Lucas.
He was most recently the founder of True North Human Capital Consulting, LLC, where he provided counsel to Fortune 200 and private companies across all areas of human capital strategies, including institutionalizing best-in-class human resources programs and establishing global talent management systems.
Lucas has also held senior human resources roles at Microsoft, Kodak and Merck.
