Mr. Mehl previously served on the Board of Directors of Workforce Insight LLC, which provides technology solutions and analytics around workforce optimization; Myelin Communications, which provides marketing and communications services for payer, provider, medical, financial and wealth management organizations; Vitalyst LLC, which provides employee software coaching and information technology services; MedData, LLC, now a subsidiary of MEDNAX, which provides healthcare revenue cycle management and patient engagement services for health systems and physician groups; American Auto Auction, LLC, which provides online and onsite automobile re-marketing services for dealers and financial institutions; Accume Partners, Inc, which provides finance and accounting services, largely for banks; and Harris Research Inc., which, through its operating subsidiaries, provides carpet and upholstery cleaning services and wood restoration services. Mr. Mehl has previously served on the investment committee for several funds, and has expertise analyzing, acquiring and selling businesses.
In addition to his service as a Director of Kforce, Mr. Mehl will also serve on the Board’s Corporate Governance Committee, effective immediately.
