honoree profile

Before venturing into the staffing world, Natasha Davis spent eight years as an operations manager in the manufacturing sector, steering a business that produced custom shirts. While she appreciated her company and the industry, Davis craved a new challenge. 

Seeking a fresh perspective, she took a sabbatical and volunteered for two transformative years in South America, immersing herself in the cultures of Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. “I loved every moment of it,” Davis reminisces. “But then, life took another turn — I got married. After six months as a homemaker, I realized I needed to return to work!”

Serendipitously, Nashville-based staffing firm BGSF was seeking a bilingual Spanish and English recruiter. Davis seized the opportunity, commencing her journey in staffing. Since joining the firm in 2021, she has made a profound impact on team development, culture and performance. 

In August 2023, Davis was promoted to regional operations manager, overseeing five markets and representing $1.4 million in revenue, which led to seven team member promotions. Shortly after, she ascended to managing director of operations, where she now presides over 24 markets and $28 million in revenue. 

Davis’ list of accolades doesn’t end there. She was honored with BGSF’s 2023 Diamond Club award for embodying company values and impacting culture. “People are not numbers. In pursuit of profit, we must not forget to care for each other because looking out for one another makes us human,” she says. 

Driven by the mission to elevate others by providing them with the right opportunities, Davis envisions an industry characterized by enhanced equity in C-suite roles.
