Meet Our Leadership Team

Joe Kelly is a founding partner of several growing firms. His extensive industry experience as an owner, investor, executive, and search professional has led to Joe’s founding, financing, and growing various staffing and search firms. With a strong track record of completing successful acquisitions and divestitures, he has shaped and steered both larger and smaller firms. Joe focuses his time on clients, partners, and day-to-day financial management, along with pursuing various strategic and growth initiatives.

With experience in operations, finance, and corporate management, and success in startups, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, Joe has completed deals worth in excess of $495 million. In 2003, Joe co-founded Partnership Employment and Perennial Resources International, a staffing and executive-search firm that has grown organically and profitably. From late 1999 through 2002, he was Executive Vice President, CFO, and a Director of Cape Success Inc., which comprised a broad group of businesses with activities in various niches of the human-capital-management industry, and which produced approximately $500 million in pro-forma revenue. With Career Blazers from 1994 to 1999, Joe was instrumental in developing strategies to unlock stockholder value inherent in the company’s diverse assets. Ultimately, he initiated, negotiated, and completed the recapitalization of the business in a deal valued at over $265 million, raising the financing from a mix of financial investors, including a large LBO fund, investment banks, and other financial institutions. 

In addition to his companies being repeatedly recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts and Inc. 500 as one of the “fastest growing firms” in the staffing industry, Joe also advises various companies on accessing capital, structuring their business, and creating plans towards realizing shareholder value.   

He is active in multiple portfolio companies and is always looking to invest in or develop additional staffing and search businesses.

Earlier in his career he worked for Hugo Neu & Sons, a large privately held metals company. Joe has served on the public and private boards of several companies. He has a degree in finance from Pace University.
