At Employ, our commitment has always been clear: to deliver bold innovation and measurable outcomes for our customers. We’ve made meaningful strides in reducing ticket time, launching impactful product enhancements, and strengthening the operational foundation that positions us for long-term success.
This is the result of focused strategy, a dedicated team, and the continued trust of our customers. And as we look ahead to an even brighter future, we’re entering a new chapter of leadership with the same clarity and conviction that have guided us here.
Today, we are sharing that Steve Cox will be transitioning from his role as CEO to pursue a lifelong aspiration, working alongside colleagues he collaborated with early in his career. This opportunity represents a rare chance for Steve to follow a dream he has nurtured for many years, and it was a decision made thoughtfully and intentionally. We are deeply grateful for the remarkable impact he’s had and the strong foundation he leaves behind at Employ.
In Steve’s words:
“This decision wasn’t about leaving—it was about stepping toward something I’ve always aspired to. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and even more proud of the team that will carry the torch forward. You’ve made me a better leader, and I’ll be cheering from the sidelines as you take our customers and products to new heights.”
