JACKSONVILLE, FL (October 20, 2005) The Custom Staffing Companies announced today the addition of Rafe Sanson as Chief Financial Officer. The move was made on the heels of the firm's announcement of a 61% increase in revenue YTD through third quarter. The 10-year old firm expects to hit $35 million in revenue by the end of the year, doubling its annual revenue in just 2 years.
Sanson most recently served as Corporate Controller for Fidelity Information Services, a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, a Fortune 500 Company located in downtown Jacksonville. Prior to Fidelity, Sanson worked for 17 years at another local Fortune 500 Company - Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. At Winn Dixie, he started as Accounting Management Trainee, gradually moving up to Senior Director of Accounting.
"Rafe will play a key role in our future growth," said Eric Stevens, CEO, The Custom Staffing Companies. "While we have been successful in growing the firm internally by efficiently adapting to industry trends, Rafe will play a key role in uncovering and evaluating additional opportunities to grow through potential mergers and acquisitions that will further expand our services for our clients."
