Kelly, a leading global specialty talent solutions provider, announced that Troy R. Anderson has been named executive vice president and chief financial officer designate, effective October 14, 2024. Following an orderly transition of responsibilities, Anderson will succeed Olivier Thirot, executive vice president and chief financial officer, who on July 8, 2024, informed Kelly of his intention to retire as an officer of the Company. Upon completion of the transition, Thirot will serve as a strategic advisor to the Company.
“I am pleased to welcome Troy to Kelly as the Company’s next chief financial officer.
