C&A Industries, a national leader in staffing, has named Scot Thompson as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Omaha-based company. Thompson, who joined C&A in 2000 as Chief Operating Officer, succeeds founder Larry Courtnage, who will assume the role of Chairman of the 40 year-old firm, along with his wife and business partner, Kathy Wolf-Courtnage, who will serve as Vice Chairperson.
"Kathy and I have worked hard to make certain the company has the foundation in place to entrust its future well beyond our involvement and lifetime,” said Courtnage. “Scot’s continued leadership and role as CEO is an essential component to ensuring the long-term success of our organization.”
Under Thompson’s leadership and vision, C&A divisions have significantly expanded their market share as well as successfully entered new niche markets, most significantly in the healthcare segment through the Aureus Medical Group portfolio, with the addition of nursing, advanced practice and physician search divisions, a managed services group, as well as various modalities in the allied health field.
Wolf-Courtnage adds, “Scot’s contribution in building a successful and experienced management team, in addition to molding the company’s culture that has resulted in C&A being recognized as one of the Best Places to Work, makes him the ideal choice to lead C&A to future levels of success."
