A global virtual staffing company has appointed a veteran workforce executive to lead its North American operations as it pushes deeper into the U.S. market.
Cloudstaff, which connects businesses with remote professionals across more than 150 roles, has named Macon Albertson as general manager for North America. He will be based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Albertson brings more than 25 years of experience in staffing and workforce solutions. He spent nearly a decade at Randstad Professionals as executive vice president before serving as president and chief executive officer at Tatum, a Randstad company. Most recently, he provided advisory consulting to staffing and professional services firms.
New role
Albertson will lead Cloudstaff’s North American strategy and build client partnerships across the region. The company says his focus will be helping businesses access specialized talent quickly and at scale.
“North American businesses are under real pressure to build the right teams, quickly and sustainably,” Albertson said. “What Cloudstaff has built, combining enterprise-grade technology with genuinely invested talent across global delivery centers, gives clients something most providers can’t offer: a team that feels like their own. That’s what I’m here to help more businesses experience.”
Lloyd Ernst, chief executive officer and founder of Cloudstaff, said Albertson’s background leading large-scale staffing operations made him the right fit for the role.
“Macon’s background leading large-scale staffing operations, combined with his instinct for building trusted client partnerships, makes him exactly the right person to lead our North American expansion,” Ernst said.
Global reach
Cloudstaff operates delivery centres in the Philippines, India, and Colombia, with Kenya set to open soon. The company says its talent pool includes nearly one million professionals available for more than 150 roles.
The Colombia expansion is intended to strengthen the company’s ability to serve clients across multiple geographies, including markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
