CTG Appoints Seasoned Industry Executive, Owen Sul

BUFFALO, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTG (NASDAQ: CTG ), an information technology (IT) solutions and services company, today announced the appointment of Owen Sullivan to its Board of Directors, effective February 16, 2017.  Concurrently, the Board announced the immediate retirement of William D. McGuire from the Board.

Mr. Sullivan is the former President of ManpowerGroup's Specialty Brands where he was responsible for all the non-traditional staffing and consulting businesses.  He retired from ManpowerGroup, a $22 billion, Fortune 150 global leader in innovative workforce solutions, in 2013, having served as a member of their Executive Committee.  A significant part of his business unit included Experis, ManpowerGroup's $3 billion global business delivering professional resourcing and project-based solutions in IT, finance and accounting, engineering and healthcare. Prior to joining ManpowerGroup in 2003, Mr. Sullivan served as President of the Financial Services Group of Metavante, Inc., a $700 million leading provider of financial services technology, until 2001.  He joined Metavante in 1993 after a fourteen-year career with IBM, serving in a progression of sales, sales management and product marketing roles.  Currently, Mr. Sullivan serves as an independent consultant, co-investing and working with private equity firms and senior executives of middle market companies.  Additionally, Mr. Sullivan sits on the boards of directors of Johnson Financial Group, Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

“We are pleased to add a director of Owen’s caliber,” said Bud Crumlish, President and CEO of CTG.  “His success at ManpowerGroup, coupled with his thirty years of experience in staffing solutions and professional resourcing, will assist us with the execution of our three-year strategic plan.”

Daniel J. Sullivan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of CTG, commented, “Owen is an ideal addition to the Board given his extensive executive-level experience in the IT Staffing industry.  We believe his addition to the Board is an important part of our plan to drive the Company’s revenue growth and profitability in the upcoming years.”  Mr. Sullivan continued, “I also want to thank Bill McGuire who is retiring from CTG’s Board.  Bill has been a key member of our Board for the past nine years and a significant contributor to the development of our strategy.  With this latest addition, the Board will have turned over two-thirds of the directors since November 2015.” 

In addition to Owen Sullivan, Arthur W. (Bud) Crumlish and James R. Helvey III will stand for election as directors at CTG’s annual meeting in May.
