Schuh will report to Mike Pocock, Yell Group Chief Executive Officer, and will be based at Yell's offices in Houston, Texas.
Yell is desperately trying to transform itself into a digital services provider for small-and-medium-sized enterprises.
It aims to become a "full-service business and marketing partner to SMEs and a trusted source for consumers searching for and connecting to local businesses".
"[Schuh's] expertise and insight will help us create a global, customer-centric service philosophy that will re-enforce our position as a valued partner to SMEs and consumers," said Pocock.
"By delivering quality solutions, becoming easier-to-do-business-with and by providing excellent pre- and post-sales service, Yell will become synonymous with superior customer experience," he said.
In the last three months of 2011 Yell saw digital revenues go up 111.8% to £35.4m.
However, total revenues for the quarter were down 15%, while digital directories (the Internet version of the Yellow Pages), fell 15.7% compared to the year before.
