DUBLIN, Calif., Sept. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet, a
leading provider of comprehensive human resources for small and
medium-size businesses (SMBs), today announced the addition of
Ralph Clark, President and CEO of
TriNet customer Shotspotter, Inc., and Maria Contreras-Sweet, managing director of
investment firm Rockway Equity Partners and management consulting
firm Contreras Sweet Companies—both TriNet board members— to its
roster of well-known business leaders, thought leaders and
influencers at the 2nd annual, award-winning, TriNet
PeopleForce 2021.
The four-day conference will be held in-person from The Times
Center in New York City (built by
renowned architect Renzo Piano) and
virtually from anywhere. It kicks off on September 13 with an impressive roster of
distinguished speakers sharing timely and insightful content vital
to business success and the future of work.
Clark has nearly 30 years of executive experience in the small
to medium-size business space and has led ShotSpotter—a leader in
precision policing solutions that enable law enforcement to more
effectively respond to, investigate and deter crime—for over a
decade. He took Shotspotter public in 2017.
His experience also includes leading and founding several
startups, VC firms and financial services companies. Clark received
the 2019 EY Entrepreneur of The Year Award for Northern California and was recognized as a
2019 Most Admired CEO by the San Francisco Business Times.
Additionally, he holds a Master of Business Administration from
Harvard Business School.
Prior to founding her current business, Contreras-Sweet served
as the 24th administrator of the U.S. Small Business
Administration. She also founded ProAmérica Bank, the first
Latino-owned commercial bank in California in over 35 years, which focused on
serving small to mid-size firms, especially those that are women
and minority-owned. Her advocacy roots as a public servant include
her role as Secretary of California's Business, Transportation, and
Housing Agency, with 42,000 employees—making her the first Latina
to hold a state cabinet post in California—as well as working for
both the California State Legislature and the U.S. Department of
Commerce. She also held several leadership roles for the 7-Up RC
Bottling Company.
Contreras-Sweet's current and previous board experience includes
Sempra Energy, Regional Management Corporation, ProAmérica Bank and
Blue Cross of California. Her
volunteer nonprofit boards include the Bipartisan Policy Center,
Inc. and the World Affairs Council.
Through their individual fireside discussions with TriNet
President and CEO Burton M.
Goldfield, both Clark and Contreras-Sweet will share their
inspiring stories and deep knowledge of entrepreneurship and
resilience with business leaders attending TriNet PeopleForce.
On September 14 at 2 p.m. EST, Clark and Goldfield will examine the
resiliency of SMBs, especially in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Clark will discuss facing adversity, overcoming
challenges, taking calculated risks, and leading through
crisis.
Contreras-Sweet will sit down with Goldfield on September 15 at 3:45 p.m.
EST to provide insight into the entrepreneurial cycle, from
turning one's passion into purpose, ebbing and flowing through the
ups and downs, and guiding one's employees through it all.
"Ralph and Maria are both well-respected leaders whose
interpersonal and professional experiences are reflective of both
the audience of entrepreneurs and business leaders at TriNet
PeopleForce, and the business-forward, inspirational spirit we are
conveying with this conference," said Goldfield. "They have a
wealth of expertise around building a successful business,
surviving turbulent times, and thriving through even the most
seemingly devastating of business challenges. I am very much
looking forward to an insightful, engaging and motivating
conversation with each of these incredibly talented, innovative and
compassionate individuals."
