Humanforce, the Australian-born provider of enterprise-grade human capital management (HCM) solutions, has appointed Aaron Thorne as its new Chief Sales Officer. Effective immediately, Thorne will lead the company’s global sales strategy, focusing on expansion and deeper customer engagement across frontline-heavy industries such as aged care, childcare, retail, hospitality, events, local government, and education.
Frontline HCM Expertise Meets Global Sales Leadership
Thorne joins Humanforce from UKG, where he most recently served as Managing Director for APAC. He brings over 20 years of sales leadership experience, scaling operations, building trusted partnerships, and driving adoption of workforce and people management technologies for large, complex organizations.
“Aaron’s deep understanding of frontline workforce challenges, combined with his proven sales leadership, makes him ideal to lead our global commercial efforts,” said Clayton Pyne, CEO of Humanforce. “As we continue to expand, his insight will ensure our solutions deliver tangible business value while enhancing the employee experience.”
Why This Matters
Humanforce positions itself as the largest frontline-focused, full-suite HCM vendor in Australia, uniting Workforce Management, HR, Benefits, Talent, and Payroll into a single platform. The company aims to help organizations navigate compliance, unlock labor productivity, optimize costs, and elevate employee experience.
“What excites me most is Humanforce’s ability to tackle the hardest challenges in frontline industries through smart M&A and product innovation,” said Thorne. “The opportunity to scale that impact globally and establish Humanforce as the leader in frontline HCM is compelling.”
With Thorne at the helm of global sales, Humanforce is signaling a push to expand beyond its Australian base, offering enterprise clients around the world a unified, frontline-focused HCM solution.
