PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce that Christina Pugh has joined its firm as Chief Sales Officer. In this new position, Pugh will play a pivotal role in driving PrideStaff’s growth and profitability by developing and executing the company’s sales strategy, aligning it with business objectives, and ensuring sustained growth through both franchise and corporate sales channels.

Before joining PrideStaff, Pugh served as Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at EmployBridge, supporting more than 400 offices for the largest light industrial staffing company in the U.S. Drawing on 25 years of staffing industry experience, expertise leading high-performing sales teams, and passion for data-driven strategies, Pugh is equipped to optimize PrideStaff’s sales performance and operational efficiency across its brands.

“I’m thankful to join a team where the culture thrives on collaboration and mutual success. PrideStaff truly feels like a family, which is rare in this industry,” said Pugh. “While economic volatility has understandably made businesses more cautious about hiring, reactionary staffing isn’t enough to succeed in today’s market. PrideStaff specializes in developing comprehensive workforce and hiring solutions to improve flexibility, reduce costs and risks, hire the best talent available, and thrive in uncertain times. I’m excited to collaborate with our team and partners to bring our solutions to more employers, nationwide.”

“As we continue to grow and evolve, we seek out exceptional leaders who can drive our success to new heights,” said PrideStaff Co-CEO Tammi Heaton. “Christina brings a powerful blend of staffing expertise, strategic sales leadership, and a focus on data-driven decision-making. Her ability to collaborate with internal teams and Strategic-Partners positions her to accelerate account growth, boost lead generation, and elevate sales performance—not only for PrideStaff as a whole but also for each individual office. This role will deliver immense value to our current franchisees, as well as those considering joining the PrideStaff network. We are thrilled to welcome her to our leadership team and excited for the impact she will make across the entire organization.”
