Atlantic International Corp. announced Tuesday that Kevin Murphy has been appointed as chief financial officer, effective immediately.
The move comes at a pivotal moment for the Englewood Cliffs firm. Just last month, Atlantic International completed its acquisition of the European IT staffing leader Circle8 Group, a deal that catapulted the company’s annual revenue to an estimated $1.2 billion.
Atlantic International Corp. is a global workforce powerhouse that connects talented professionals with industry-leading companies across North America and Europe, essentially being a “matchmaker” of the global workforce.
Murphy isn’t just a numbers guy; he’s a specialist in organizational transformation. With over 25 years of experience, he most recently served as EVP and Division CFO at Hospitality Staffing Solutions, where he helped drive a staggering 17% revenue growth over two years.
His resume is a “who’s who” of corporate finance, featuring leadership roles at:
-
LexisNexis: Overseeing a $115 million data services segment.
-
Siemens Energy & Automation: Leading critical finance functions.
-
Private Equity Platforms: Navigating complex M&A and capital market shifts.
“As we continue to scale Atlantic and integrate recent acquisitions, Kevin’s operational mindset and capital markets discipline make him an ideal fit,” Jeffrey Jagid, CEO of Atlantic International said.
Atlantic International’s growth strategy is a tale of two continents. Through its subsidiary Lyneer Staffing Solutions, the company has long been a staple of the American industrial sector, providing workforce management for food production and logistics.
The addition of Circle8 Group—headquartered in Switzerland and the Netherlands—adds a high-tech edge to the portfolio. Circle8 brings over 12,000 technology professionals and a prestige partnership as the IT talent provider for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team.
Murphy is tasked with professionalizing the financial processes of this newly expanded global platform. “Atlantic is building a differentiated global workforce solutions platform,” Murphy said. “I look forward to partnering with the leadership team to support disciplined integration and create long-term value for shareholders.”
