TaskUs Snags Chief People Officer From Chipotle

Santa Monica-based TaskUs, which provides back office and customer support for many prominent high tech companies, said this morning that it has appointed Mike Ferguson as the company's first Chief People officer. Ferguson was most recently Head of People Support at Chipotle Mexican Grill, which he spent the last 12 years at. TaskUs said that at Chipotle, Ferguson build an organization that now has over 70,000 employees across five countries. Ferguson will be based out of Denver. TaskUs, which is backed by private equity investor Blackstone, has a similar employee management challenge; in 2017, the company passed up more than 8,000 employees with significant operations in the Philippines, Santa Monica, Texas, and New Mexico.
