Sterling Mobility, a subsidiary of Lexicon® Relocation and The Suddath Companies, has announced a key addition to its executive leadership team with the appointment of Peter Sewell as managing director for its EMEA and APAC divisions. Peter has several decades of experience in global mobility and relocation.

Peter most recently served as regional director for mobility covering Northern Europe for Crown Worldwide. There he developed and delivered business strategies for global mobility and served as a member of the global senior leadership team, driving development of emerging technology strategies.

Peter has worked in both the corporate and consulting sides of the global mobility industry. Before joining Crown, he was head of the Global Mobility unit and head of Group Talent and Diversity for Tesco, the largest UK-based retailer with operations throughout the UK, EMEA and APAC. He also served over ten years with Marks & Spencer, another prominent UK retailer, working in its international human resources and global mobility departments. Additionally, as a consultant with Andersen and Deloitte, he was part of the tax division delivering expatriate support services for global clients. Peter was the recipient of the Forum for Expatriate Management’s 2017 EMEA Award for outstanding contribution to Global Mobility.

Mike Brannigan, CEO for The Suddath Companies said, “Our Lexicon Relocation global mobility business unit more than doubled in size after the acquisition of UK-based Sterling Mobility, allowing us all to provide our mutual clients the truly global reach and benefits they need. Peter is crucial to our strategy of expanding client service offerings, such as global assignment management, as well as deepening the knowledge base of our employee talent pool for handling regulatory, customs or tax issues in complex or niche areas of expertise.”
