Mondo
Mondo, a provider of technology and marketing staffing, promoted Tim Johnson to CEO. Michael Kirven, the founder and former CEO, will now serve as chairman of the board.
Mondo has dual headquarters in New York City and Boston, and Johnson will be located in its Boston office. He has been with Mondo for more than 12 years and has served as VP of sales since April 2013, when the company split from Bluewolf, a global business consulting firm.
“As the worlds of IT and digital marketing continue to rapidly converge, we are uniquely positioned to help organizations meet their hiring needs with the most qualified professionals and contractors,” Johnson said. “I look forward to leading Mondo during this next phase of growth, as a leader in IT resourcing and digital marketing.”
Mondo's revenues are on track to increase from $6 million in 2005 to more than $90 million this year. It now counts 10 offices — including Los Angeles, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Denver, Chicago and Atlanta.

Prior to Worldwide Clinical Trials, she practiced for 10 years as a corporate transactional attorney at the international law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, primarily concentrating in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, and securities and corporate finance.

Arthur “Bud” Crumlish previously held this position prior to being named the CEO and president of the company in July.
