Industrial staffing provider Command Center Inc. (OTCQB: CCNI) appointed Cory Smith to chief financial officer, effective July 31. He replaces Colette Pieper, who resigned after less than a year to pursue other professional interests.

Pieper assumed the CFO role at the Coeur D’Alene, Idaho-based firm in September. She had taken over the role from Jeff Wilson, who took the position in 2014 and left when his employment contract ended.

Smith has more than 10 years of financial and accounting experience, including six at Command Center. He was employed by Command Center from 2010 through 2015, serving as the company’s controller during the final two years of his tenure. Since 2015, he has been VP of finance at Southeast Staffing (formerly Worldwide Staffing). From 2005 to 2010, Smith worked as a certified public accountant, primarily performing attestation work.

“On behalf of management and our board of directors, we would like to welcome Cory back to our organization,” said President and CEO Bubba Sandford. “He brings significant financial and accounting experience to this role and, given his history with our company, is innately familiar with our business, operations, and financial and accounting practices. We would also like to thank Colette for all she accomplished while she was here, and we wish her well in the future.”
