GEE Group Inc. (NYSE MKT: JOB) appointed Kim Thorpe as senior VP and CFO, effective last Friday. Thorpe replaces Andrew Norstrud, who is resigning from his CFO role at the Naperville, Ill.-based staffing provider to pursue other interests.

Norstrud will continue to provide services to the company pursuant to a new consulting arrangement, through which he will assist in the transition of his duties and focus on other projects including strategic acquisitions. Norstrud was named CFO in March 2013; he previously was the company’s CEO from March 2014 to April 2015.

“Andrew Norstrud has been an important part of the significant progress GEE has made over the last several years,” Chairman and CEO Derek Dewan said. “We very much appreciate his contributions to the Company and look forward to working with him as a consultant on future projects.”

Thorpe joined GEE as VP of finance on May 1, 2018. He previously was a senior executive and CFO of both publicly traded and privately-owned organizations.

“Kim Thorpe is an exceptional and accomplished finance executive with superb business acumen and extensive experience,” Dewan said. “He has been working closely with Andrew since joining GEE to insure a smooth transition. We are fortunate to have his talents available to us for this key position.”
