SAN DIEGO, Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AMN Healthcare
Services, Inc. (NYSE: AHS), the innovator in healthcare
workforce solutions and the largest provider of staffing services
in the nation, has announced the promotion of Dan White to President of Strategic Workforce
Solutions. He will report directly to AMN President and CEO
Susan Salka.
In this role, White will be responsible for business development
for the suite of AMN's healthcare workforce solutions, including
the industry-leading Managed Services Programs (MSP), Recruitment
Process Outsourcing (RPO), Strategic Accounts and Client Marketing
teams. He assumes the role held by Bob
Livonius, who will continue with AMN as Executive Advisor
reporting to Salka.
Bob Livonius is credited with
advancing the acceptance of MSP and other workforce solutions in
the healthcare industry. For years, healthcare enterprises have
struggled with workforce management problems while at the same time
maintaining their focus on patient care and safety. MSP and other
workforce solutions significantly reduce the management burden on
healthcare enterprises while also reducing contingent labor costs.
During Livonius' tenure within AMN and the industry, the number of
healthcare providers using workforce solutions such as MSPs has
progressively risen.
"Bob is a trailblazer in the healthcare staffing industry and
has provided guidance and leadership for AMN's transformation to
become the leading innovator in workforce solutions," Salka said.
"We are thrilled that we will continue to benefit from his wealth
of knowledge and innovative mind. This well-planned transition will
also enable Bob to spend more time with his incredible wife and
family as well as leverage his expertise and experience through
outside corporate board and advisory roles."
Livonius joined AMN in 2010 as President of Strategic Workforce
Solutions after serving for seven years as chief executive officer
of Medfinders, a leading healthcare workforce solutions and
staffing company. Prior to joining Medfinders, Livonius served as
chief operating officer for Spherion Corp. He also spent 20 years
in the information technology sector, including 15 years at
IBM. He is a board member and former chairman of the American
Staffing Association (ASA).
Salka said Livonius was instrumental in ensuring AMN was
well-positioned for this transition. "AMN is fortunate to have a
leader of Dan White's caliber to
promote into this critical position for the company," she said.
White joined AMN as Senior Vice President of Strategic Workforce
Solutions in early 2014 with more than 25 years of professional
experience in recruitment, product marketing and management,
software development, executive leadership and venture
capital. In this role, he has continued to advance AMN's MSP
and RPO services. White has a proven track record in implementing
large-scale RPO programs for companies, including for IBM.
He was also the founder of SkillSet Software in 1993 and served
in various sales and operational leadership roles across the
industry. White is a recognized industry spokesman, speaking
regularly on the topic of workforce lifecycle management,
recruitment best practices, human resources systems design and
talent optimization, among other related topics. He received a BBA
in Accounting from the University of San
Diego in 1985.
"From his first day on the job, Dan possessed an entrepreneurial
spirit that enhanced the way AMN provides workforce solutions to
its clients," Salka said. "He is a natural leader and problem
solver who knows how to listen to our clients in order to create
and execute the creative partnerships and services they need."
