honoree profile text

Under Gene Holtzman’s leadership, Mitchell Martin experienced significant growth in 2022, with $311 million total revenue in both technology and healthcare staffing. Coming from a social work background, Holtzman operates in the best interests of clients, employees and consultants, focusing on entrepreneurship and agility, rather than purely profits. To preserve the company culture, Holtzman in 2023 declined to sell it or go private equity, instead converting it to an employee-ownership model. Employees and w-2 contractors now own 40% of MMI, at no cost to them, which maintains the independence and culture of MMI and helps ensure a dedicated team to support clients.
