“First of all I want to congratulate Suzanne Perry, Jennifer Prospero, Ayano "Sena" Senaha, and Mio Kashiwamura with this fantastic nomination. They fully deserve it”, said Rob Zandbergen, CEO RGF Staffing. Perry and Prospero both work for Staffmark Group (proud member of the RGF Staffing family). Senaha and Kashiwamura work for Recruit Holdings.
“I believe this election is not only in recognition of their own work, but also of the way we as company are working on a more diverse and equal organization. Which of course encompasses much more than creating opportunities for women in leadership. I can speak at length about the benefits a diverse and equal company brings, but it’s important to emphasize these go beyond financial results. It also boosts people’s personal growth, enhances mutual understanding and thus contributes to a more inclusive world for all”, according to Zandbergen, who himself received a nomination in the SIA’s 2021 Staffing 100 Europe. In its Staffing 100 Europe list, SIA recognizes each year a diverse group of influential European staffing leaders who are elevating the ecosystem and taking it forward. “I am honored with this nomination, but I would especially like to spotlight our four nominated female leaders for the Global Power 150.”
