ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-November 27, 2006--Atlanta-based B2B Workforce, Inc. announced today that its Principals have named Timothy J. Shearer to serve as the company's Chief Executive Officer effective immediately.
Shearer has served as B2B's Vice President, Oracle Practice since March 2006 where he had P & L responsibility for its Oracle Consulting Practice. Prior to joining B2B, he held a number of senior level positions at BearingPoint, Inc. and it's predecessor, KPMG Consulting, Inc., culminating as Vice President, Commercial Services Solutions. Prior to BearingPoint, he held positions with the consultancy practices of Price Waterhouse, LLP and Coopers & Lybrand, LLP. Previous to entering the consulting space, Shearer held a number of finance, technology and strategic planning roles with several Fortune 500 companies.
Bob Bailey, one of the founding Principals of B2B, said that promoting Shearer from within the company as its CEO is a natural choice. His new role will combine his experience in successfully growing a key element of our business with his demonstrated leadership skills and experience honed from his successful consulting and business operations roles.
"Tim has been known to us for many years, both as a client and more recently as a key member of our management team. We are very confident that he has the requisite background to help our organization continue on its steep growth trajectory," continued Bailey.
Steve Sutton, also a founding Principal of B2B, and Executive Sponsor of the company's Oracle Practice said that the firm is looking forward to Shearer bringing the same level of energy and success that he demonstrated in leading strong Oracle Practice growth to our entire company.
"As our company has grown and has become increasingly sophisticated in the markets and clients we serve, it became apparent that we needed a top executive, with a demonstrated track record, to help us continue the flawless execution of our business plan. Tim has proven his understanding of our business while working closely with me to grow our Oracle Practice over the last nine months," said Sutton.
Shearer commented that "B2B's unique value that it brings to its clients, as well as its commitment to quality, and client service drew me in as a client years ago. I am excited to now work closely with Steve, Bob and the rest of the Management Team to continue to grow this company by building on its past success with flexible, unique project augmentation services for current and new clients."
