Willis brings 26 years of extensive executive leadership experience to
PeopleReady. She most recently led one of Adecco’s most successful
divisions and played integral roles in enterprise transformation.
“We are delighted to have a leader of Kristy’s caliber join our team,”
Said PeopleReady President Sean Ebner. “With a perfect blend of
strategy, entrepreneurial spirit, real-world pragmatism, and senior
executive experience, Kristy is a terrific addition to our dynamic
leadership team.”
PeopleReady specializes in using its national scale and expertise to
find the right people for blue collar jobs in hundreds of local
communities and industries across North America. That expertise spans
from supplying a workforce of thousands within days to help communities
clean up and rebuild following a natural disaster, to helping businesses
staff-up for big projects, to providing deeply skilled journeymen
carpenters, electricians, master pipefitters and other highly-skilled
craftspeople on long-term engagements.
“Before I decided to join the team, I spent some time in a PeopleReady
branch and was amazed,” said Kristy. “You don’t have to be in staffing
long to know how hard it is to do what PeopleReady does. Anyone who runs
a business knows how tough it is to find reliable, qualified workers
today. The PeopleReady team makes it look easy. That means they know
their customers, know their markets, and know their workers – the
hat-trick of staffing. When I saw that, I knew I wanted to be part of
the PeopleReady team.”
Willis joins PeopleReady’s dynamic leadership team, which includes
veterans with decades of experience at the company who helped lead
through dramatic growth as the company grew from a single day labor
location in Kent, WA to the $1.5 billion North American enterprise it is
today.
