Volt Information Sciences Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: VISI) CFO Paul Tomkins is stepping down effective Aug. 23 to pursue other opportunities, the company announced today. Taking over the CFO role will be Hebert Mueller, who had formerly served as CFO at professional staffing firm Resources Connection Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN).

“Herb is an experienced and talented executive whose track record demonstrates not only his keen understanding of finance, but also his ability to deliver results from an operational perspective,” said Linda Perneau, Volt’s president and CEO.

Mueller has more than 30 years of finance experience. He was promoted to CFO at Resources Connection in August 2016 after serving as managing director in that company’s Atlanta practice. Resources Connection named an interim CFO earlier this week.

“I am excited to join Volt’s management team at this pivotal time,” Mueller said in a statement. “I look forward to building on the significant progress that has already been made positioning Volt for profitable growth.”

Outgoing Volt CFO Tomkins had served in that role since March 2015. He had formerly served as CFO at Reader’s Digest Association Inc.; prior that, had spent 27 years at AT&T.

“I wish Paul the best in his future endeavors and would like to thank him for his willingness to ensure a smooth transition and, more importantly, his thoughtful leadership and dedication over the years,” Perneau said.
