Jackson Healthcare, which ranks among the largest US healthcare staffing providers, appointed Leslie Kurtz as CFO. She takes over from former CFO Douglas Kline, who joined the company in 2005 and retired at the end of last month.

Kurtz held executive leadership positions in the talent management and healthcare industries before coming to Atlanta-based Jackson Healthcare, most recently as CFO at MedQuest Associates. She also worked with multiple companies in accounting and operational finance leadership roles prior to MedQuest, including Right Management, Irwin & Browning and Coca-Cola Enterprises. She launched her career at Arthur Anderson.

“Leslie has a proven track record of driving growth, achieving operational excellence and sustaining profitability,” Chairman and CEO Rick Jackson said. “We believe her expertise and strong cultural alignment make her the ideal financial leader for the next phase of the Jackson Healthcare growth journey.”
