UniFocus names new CEO

Moneesh Arora has been named the new CEO at UniFocus, a leading workforce management platform.

Mark Heymann will continue to serve as founder/board director as he focuses on strategic initiatives, new growth markets and innovations that continue to push UniFocus’ vision forward, according to the company.

“UniFocus sits at the forefront of one of the biggest crossroads of workforce management in modern history,” said Heymann. “Thanks to the efforts of the entire team at UniFocus, no other company is better positioned to help address the issues service industries are facing, not only due to the labor crisis, but as service organizations look to address the demands of the service workforce. I look forward to my continued work with the team and Moneesh to build on the foundation that has already been laid and push the boundaries of modern workforce management.”

Arora has served in several leadership positions over the last 25 years at Paycor, ADP and Thomson Reuters. He has extensive experience with human capital management platforms (HCM) and currently serves on the board of Greenshades, a leading provider of payroll and HR solutions, as well as other private-equity-backed SaaS companies.

“UniFocus is already uniquely positioned to help its partners address their comprehensive needs by simplifying and streamlining how clients engage and deploy their workforce, in an extremely competitive labor market,” said Arora. “By building on our stellar track record and leadership position in workforce management, I see tremendous growth opportunities ahead as we help our partners solve broader human capital management needs and simplify their workflows.”

This announcement rounds out a year of incredible momentum that includes an investment from private equity firm Riverside, as well as the addition of executives, Corey McCarthy, CMO, and Laurie Rogers, CFO, the company reports. In addition to strategic placements within the executive team, the company is also strengthening its board with the appointment of Mary Jo Dolasinski, assistant professor at DePaul’s School of Hospitality Leadership and a former executive with White Lodging.

“I look forward to building on the momentum UniFocus saw in 2021 as we unveil the next generation of workforce management technology,” said Arora. “UniFocus is positioned to win with a compelling value proposition and a world-class culture needed to execute.”
