WorkForce Software, the #1 rated workforce management solution for large employers, announced the appointment of Bill Shaheen as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and the promotion of Nicole Neumarker to Chief Operating Officer (COO) effective January 1, 2024. As CRO, Shaheen will lead the global revenue and customer success organizations and as COO, Neumarker will lead engineering, cloud services, product management, customer support and global services.

Following a record-setting 2023 for WorkForce Software marked by a 13 percent increase in year-over-year transaction volume and an 18 percent rise in net new customers compared to the previous year, Neumarker and Shaheen are strengthening the company’s ability to scale operations for continued growth. Post-pandemic, the workforce management software sector has experienced substantial growth, as large employers facing increased pressure to optimize their workforce to meet new strategic, regulatory and operational talent needs are increasingly prioritizing investments in workforce management technology.

“I’ve had the honor to work with both Bill and Nicole, and I’m excited to have them in these critical leadership roles as we continue to disrupt the workforce management industry with our award-winning solution,” said Jeff Moses, CEO at WorkForce Software. “Navigating the complex challenges faced by top global enterprises, ranging from increased demands from employees and organized labor— and the mounting demands to offer more flexible labor scheduling and meet changing compliance regulations— has increased demand for our leading solution. Bill and Nicole, together with our experienced leadership team and our dedicated global employees, are committed to tackling these challenges head-on and delivering the best workforce management solution on the market.”

A veteran of B2B Cloud SaaS businesses, Shaheen is a seasoned Human Capital Management (HCM) executive who brings over three decades of industry knowledge and experience to the role. A go-to-market expert, Shaheen had been helping to guide WorkForce Software from his most recent role on their Board of Directors and Operating Executive for Elliott Investment Management where he also worked with other top-performing SaaS sales and marketing executive teams. His extensive leadership experience includes key sales, board, executive leadership, and consultancy roles at leading technology and human capital management software firms including Code42, SumTotal Systems, Oracle and Taleo.

“As WorkForce Software embarks on an exciting new chapter in 2024, I am honored to join the team,” says Bill Shaheen, CRO at WorkForce Software. “Having seen first-hand the quality of the solutions and WorkForce team, I’m committed to building upon their success, bringing the #1 rated global workforce management solution to a growing number of global employers. By focusing on our customers’ success improving both operational performance and employee experience leveraging our solutions, we’ll redefine the future of work and modern workforce management.”

Executive leadership changes also include COO Neumarker’s promotion from Chief Technology Officer (CTO), a role she has held for the past year. With over 20 years of experience in technology and software development leadership roles, Neumarker expands her responsibilities to include global product management, engineering, cloud services, customer support, and professional services. She has played a leadership role in defining product strategy and delivery roadmap and will focus on scaling the business for continued growth. Neumarker has a distinct passion for connecting with customers and her teams, so they are positioned to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the world’s largest employers. Prior to WorkForce Software, Neumarker was the Executive Vice President of Development and Innovation at Cotiviti.

“My time as CTO at WorkForce has been immensely meaningful and I’ve gained incredible insights, especially at this critical time for the company as we scale to meet the growing demand for our workforce management solution,” said Nicole Neumarker, COO at WorkForce Software. “As COO, I look forward to advancing our strategic vision and deepening the valuable relationships I’ve developed with our customers. I’m excited to lead our talented teams through this next phase of growth and drive continued innovation of our solutions from design and development through to our customers’ value realization. It is an exciting opportunity to deliver the most advanced workforce management product to help organizations in their pursuit to redefine the way people work.”
