Kelly Services (NASDAQ: KELYA, KELYB) announced the completion of its CFO transition. 

Troy Anderson, who joined Kelly in October as executive VP and CFO designate, succeeds Olivier Thirot as the company’s chief financial officer, effective Dec. 2. Thirot will retire as an officer of Kelly while continuing to serve the company as a strategic advisor.

Before joining the Troy, Michigan-based talent provider, Anderson was executive VP and CFO of Universal Technical Institute, a provider of workforce education programs in transportation, skilled trades, energy and healthcare. Prior to UTI, he was VP, global finance, and corporate controller for Conduent, a business process services company.

“I’m grateful to serve as Kelly’s chief financial officer at this consequential point on the company’s specialty growth journey,” Anderson said in a press release. “My experience since joining Kelly has reinforced for me the opportunity that exists to build upon the strong foundation established through the company’s ongoing transformation and to further enhance its financial profile. I look forward to working with the Kelly team to accelerate organic and inorganic growth, deliver additional EBITDA margin expansion and create significant value for our shareholders.”

Thirot joined Kelly in 2008 and announced his plans to retire in July.

Kelly ranks sixth on SIA’s list of Largest Staffing Firms in the US.
