Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE-AMERICAN: VISI) today
announced organizational changes that will strengthen its focus on
sales and service delivery across its spectrum of offerings.
Chris Kelly has joined Volt as Senior Vice President, Strategic
Solutions, Volt Workforce Solutions (VWS). In this role, Ms. Kelly
will bring a greater focus to vendor-on-premise accounts, a growing
segment within the staffing industry and one that represents a
significant strategic opportunity for Volt. Enhanced attention on
sales opportunities in the segment will allow Volt to capitalize on
local and regional delivery strengths, building on the Company’s
existing retail footprint.
“I am thrilled that Chris will be leading our Strategic
Solutions Group,” said Linda Perneau, Interim President & CEO
of Volt Information Sciences. “Chris’s track record in identifying
and attracting top talent and delivering new business makes her a
vital addition as we accelerate the growth of our vendor-on-premise
business. She brings exceptional leadership skills, and a passion
for driving profitable growth.”
“I am honored to join VWS at this pivotal time and look forward
to delivering enhanced value to our clients as a premier solutions
provider,” said Ms. Kelly. “The opportunity to further develop
Volt’s strength as an industry leader is extremely exciting. Volt’s
foundation in the retail market is the ideal springboard for
expanding our footprint in the industry.”
Ms. Kelly brings over 25 years of industry experience at
high-performance companies, including Apple One, Spherion,
Randstad, and most recently, Nelson, where she was Vice President,
Strategic Sales, responsible primarily for enterprise-wide sales
efforts. Before joining Nelson, Ms. Kelly was National Sales
Director for the West at Spherion/Randstad, where she utilized her
expertise to deliver successful and customized solutions to each
client.
Volt is also pleased to announce the formation of a new
division, Volt Global Solutions. This division will continue its
focus on the Company’s managed service provider (MSP) business and
VMS delivery, but will expand its scope to include the European
Consulting Group to better deliver global solutions to clients.
This team will be led by Rhona Driggs, President, Volt Global
Solutions.
Ms. Driggs has over 25 years of experience leading sales and
operations in the staffing industry. Most recently, she served as
President, Volt Consulting Group (VCG) US, where she was
responsible for leading and building the managed service program
business. Based on her significant career accomplishments, Ms.
Driggs was honored in SIA’s Global Power 100 list of Women in
Staffing for the past two consecutive years. Previously, she served
as Executive Vice President of VWS North America, responsible for
commercial operations. Ms. Driggs began her career at Volt as a
Regional Manager, opening several new markets, including in her
native Minneapolis, MN. Prior to joining Volt, Ms. Driggs worked
for Kelly Services, where she led Kelly’s Western Region Partnered
Staffing Sales Team.
Ms. Perneau commented, “I am delighted with the formation of
both our Strategic Solutions Group and our Global Solutions Group –
these developments renew our focus and broaden our reach. Under the
leadership of both Chris and Rhona, I am confident both divisions
will be powerful drivers of Volt’s swift growth.”
