A leadership transition at Happy: Welcoming Cathy Busani as CEO

After an incredible 37.5 years leading Happy, our founder and Chief Happiness Officer Henry Stewart is stepping down. While this marks the end of an era, it’s also the start of an exciting new chapter as Cathy Busani, our Managing Director, steps in as our new CEO.



This transition is more than just a title change. It represents a continuation of the values and culture that make Happy, well, Happy. Cathy has been instrumental in shaping our organisation, bringing wisdom, care and an unrivalled commitment to inclusivity, trust and creating joy in the workplace.
