    Express Employment International CIO Recognized as One of SIA’s Top Women in Staffing

     
     
    Express Employment International is thrilled to announce executive Linda Marie Arredondo’s inclusion in Staffing Industry Analysts’ 2022 Global Power 150—Women in Staffing list. Now in its eighth iteration, the list “recognizes women for their outstanding efforts and achievements in elevating the workforce solutions ecosystem.”
     
    As chief information officer (CIO) and executive VP of Express, Arredondo helped initiate a cloud migration and deploy a business intelligence dashboard that enables greater enterprise-wide performance and productivity.
     

     She came to the Oklahoma-based franchisor in 2020, bringing more than 20 years of experience in information technology that includes CIO roles with several other organizations. Her influence extends beyond Express as a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, acting chair of the technology task force of the American Staffing Association and a board member for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society and The Kwek Society.

     
    “These forward-thinking women have turned challenges into springboards to success,” said Subadhra Sriram, SIA’s editor and publisher of media products. “From heading up impactful organizations to steering essential projects to fine-tuning the hybrid model, they have led with grace and empathy. Congratulations to this year’s honorees who are navigating, adapting, and innovating in this new world of work. The remarkable women gracing our 2022 Global Power 150 list exemplify strength and leadership in the staffing industry.”

    SIA’s research consistently shows that despite women dominating offices worldwide in the staffing industry, only a few women make it to the top roles in organizations. The Global Power 150—Women in Staffing shines the spotlight on female leaders making a difference inside and outside of boardrooms. The 2022 list of Global Power 150—Women in Staffing is sponsored by Bullhorn Inc., a global provider of cloud-based software powering recruitment efforts.
     
    “Linda Marie has been instrumental in leading teams to develop and utilize technology to equip not only Express, but the staffing industry as a whole, with the tools our franchise owners need to succeed in recruiting and placing top talent,” Express CEO Bill Stoller said. “We are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our executive team and extremely proud of her inclusion in this prestigious list.”
