Since joining UKG in October 2024, Hanley reports to CEO Jen Morgan and is responsible for developing and executing an integrated, global communications strategy while leading the company's internal and external communications teams, thought leadership, and corporate branding. Hanley is also leading a customer-first initiative that aims to streamline the customer communication experience.

Her leadership will be invaluable as we continue to experience significant growth and transform the way organizations operate around the world."

Previously, Hanley was the global head of communications, marketing, and engagement at KKR, and held a similar role for J.P. Morgan's Treasury and Security Services business. Hanley also served as press secretary for Clinton throughout her two terms in the U.S. Senate, as well as during her 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.
"I'm thrilled to serve as UKG's inaugural CCO, where I have the absolute privilege of sharing our company's exciting story with our customers, employees, and the public," said Hanley. "While UKG has already accomplished so much as an organization serving more than 80,000 organizations worldwide, we're at a pivotal time in our history, and this is just the opening chapter in our transformative growth story."
