The chief legal officer of Kelly Services Inc., a Troy, Michigan-based office staffing company, left earlier this month and is being temporarily replaced by the company's chief transactional counsel, according to a filing with the SEC on Thursday.
Hannah Lim-Johnson left the company March 19. It is not clear why she left the company.
"I am thankful for everything we were able to accomplish as a team at Kelly, and I am very excited to see what the next career chapter will bring," Lim-Johnson said in an email to Corporate Counsel.
The terms of her separation arrangements are not yet finalized and will be reported once they are. According to the company's most recent proxy statement, Lim-Johnson was paid a salary of $348,346 and received a short-term incentive plan payout of $105,967 in 2018. Her compensation data for 2019 was not available.
Lim-Johnson became the chief legal officer of Kelly Services in 2017. She previously has held in-house roles at Public Service Enterprise Group, ADT Inc. and Tyco Integrated Security. She graduated from Rutgers Law School in 1997. She currently serves as a member of the board of directors of the Washington, D.C.-based Minority Corporate Counsel Association. When she was named to the board in February, she told Corporate Counsel she was honored to join and looked forward to "digging into the important work ahead."
Lim-Johnson will be replaced by Janis Acosta, who joined Kelly Services in 2019 as chief transactional counsel. According to the filing, Acosta will serve as interim general counsel. It is not clear if she is in the running to become the permanent general counsel nor is it clear if she will continue to serve as the chief transactional counsel.
Acosta has previously served as general counsel at International Automotive Components, deputy general counsel at Lear Corp. and as a senior attorney at United Technologies. Acosta also served as a partner at Winston & Strawn in Chicago. She graduated from Wayne State University Law School.
A spokesperson for Kelly Services and Acosta did not immediately respond to request for comment Friday.
