TrueBlue names HR exec, appoints new board members

TrueBlue Inc. (NYSE: TBI) named a new chief human resources officer and appointed two new members to its board of directors.

The company named Randall Rothschiller as CHRO, effective June 6.

Rothschiller will direct human resources programs for TrueBlue’s more than 5,000 employees. He takes over the responsibilities of Executive VP Kim Cannon, who left the company to pursue other opportunities.

Rothschiller previously was chief human resources officer at Savers, a Bellevue, Wash-based retailer with 20,000 employees throughout the US, Canada and Australia. 

Separately, TrueBlue appointed Stephen Robb and William Goings to its board of directors, effective April 1. They will fill two of the three seats on the board that have been held by longtime board members Tom McChesney, Gates McKibbin and Craig Tall, who are resigning and will not stand for re-election at the firm’s 2016 annual shareholders meeting in May.

McChesney, McKibbin and Tall served on the board for 21, 15 and 10 years, respectively.

Robb joined The Clorox Company in 1989 and was named executive VP and CFO in 2014 after serving as senior VP and CFO. Prior to being named CFO, he was VP of global finance.

Goings has 34 years of global executive leadership experience in financial services, including banking and insurance. He most recently served as executive VP, TD Bank Group and president, TD Insurance, a direct-to-consumer provider in Canada of insurance solutions. His international experience also includes serving as president of Genworth Financial’s life insurance operations and as CEO of GE Financial Insurance, Europe.

“Our history, culture, and strategic direction were key considerations in our succession planning and candidate search,” said Chairman Joe Sambataro Jr. “Steve and Bill are both strategic business leaders with experience serving high-growth global companies. We’re looking forward to the financial acumen and international expertise they will bring to the board. Steve and Bill add a diverse range of skills and new perspective that will help ensure the long-term success of TrueBlue, especially as we extend our global reach.”

TrueBlue provides specialized staffing, on-site workforce management and recruitment process outsourcing operations. The Tacoma, Wash.-based company ranked as the largest industrial staffing firm on Staffing Industry Analysts’ 2015 list of largest US industrial staffing firms.
