June 12, 2008

Westaff Inc. (NASD: WSTF) hired back Christa Leonard as its new CFO and Stephen Russo as its new COO. Both are returning after leaving Westaff in 2006 to serve as CFO and COO, respectively, of Prudential California Realty.

CEO and Chairman Michael Willis said the company is poised to enter a period of accelerated growth with an improving economy and both Leonard and Russo have ties to the company, experience in operations and finance and experience with mergers and acquisitions. "We believe that the industry could be moving towards the next phase of consolidation," Willis said.

Former CFO Dawn Jaffray resigned in May.
