Industrial staffing provider Command Center Inc. (NASD: CCNI) named Richard Coleman, Jr., as president and CEO, effective April 1. He will also serve on the board of the Colorado-based industrial staffing firm. Coleman succeeds Bubba Sandford, who stepped down to pursue other interests.
Separately, Coleman was also named chairman of Hudson Global Inc. (NASD: HSON), an RPO provider based in New York, effective March 31. He has been a director at Hudson since 2014.
Coleman since November 2014 was president and CEO, director, and principal executive officer of Crossroads Systems, a global provider of data archive solutions, beginning November 2013. He has also served on various other public company boards and in a variety of senior operational roles, including CEO of Vroom Technologies Inc., COO of MetroNet Communications, and president of U.S. West Long Distance. He also held significant officer-level positions with Frontier Communications, Centex Telemanagement and Sprint Communications.
Additionally, Command Center executive VP and general counsel, Ronald Junck, retired effective May 25, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Junck had held the role since November 2006. He had also served as secretary of Command Center from November 2006 until May 2017, and as a board member from November 2005 until November 2007. From 1998 through 2001, he was executive VP and general counsel of Labor Ready Inc., and for several years served as a director of that company.
Command Center begin trading on Nasdaq on June 4.
“The Nasdaq listing is a major milestone for our company,” Coleman said. “Over time, in addition to the successful reverse stock split completed at the end of 2017, we believe this listing will allow us to expand our shareholder base and increase our appeal to a larger pool of institutional and retail investors. I look forward to leveraging these benefits as we continue our efforts to increase shareholder value.”
The Lakewood, Colo.-based company settled a proxy battle in April with Ephraim Fields of Echo Lake Capital, in which it agreed to appoint new board members. Command Center has 67 field offices in 22 states, and reported first-quarter revenue of $22.5 million.
