Tandym Group Names Byrne Mulrooney As Chief Executive Officer

Tandym Group is pleased to announce that we have appointed Byrne Mulrooney as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mulrooney has also joined Tandym’s Board of Directors. Tandym is a portfolio company of Mill Rock Capital and ICG.

A veteran executive, Mr. Mulrooney joins Tandym after 13 years at Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY), where he was most recently CEO of Korn Ferry Digital and CEO of Korn Ferry’s Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) segments. Mr. Mulrooney has a proven track record of driving growth and creating high performing organizations, bringing together people and technology to enhance client, candidate, and employee experiences. Under his leadership, Korn Ferry expanded its enterprise recruiting portfolio from its nascent beginnings in Professional Search and RPO solutions into industry leadership positions. Additionally, he led the firm’s efforts to create a multi-faceted digital business model underpinned by Korn Ferry’s IP that established and strengthened unique value propositions for Korn Ferry’s Talent Acquisition and Talent Management Workforce Solutions. Prior to Korn Ferry, Mr. Mulrooney spent more than 25 years in positions of increasing responsibility at both public and private companies, including IBM, EDS and Spherion.

“This role represents the capstone of my entire career, and I am thrilled to be joining Tandym as CEO,” said Mr. Mulrooney. “Tandym’s outstanding people, culture of success, and admirable history of expansion have prepared it to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry, and I am passionate about leading the Company through the next chapter of its growth story.”

Tandym’s President, Dave Muller, added, “On behalf of everyone at Tandym, I am excited for Byrne to join the organization. He brings a wealth of experience and a broad, global perspective, and I am confident that he will help steer our company energetically as we move forward. I am excited to work with Byrne to build an organization that is well-positioned for the future.”

“We are delighted to welcome Byrne as Tandym’s Chief Executive Officer,” stated Chris Whalen and Adi Pekmezovic, Tandym Board Members and Co-Founders of Mill Rock Capital. “His strong leadership skills, proven track record and a focus on culture will be important assets as we continue to execute Tandym’s strategy.”

“Byrne has a clear vision for growth across each of Tandym’s business segments,” said Justin McDougall, Managing Director of ICG. “We look forward to working with him and our partners at Mill Rock to realize the Company’s full potential.”

Since Mill Rock and ICG’s investment in Tandym in March 2021, the Company has acquired and integrated three complementary businesses, expanded its footprint across the United States and into new markets, and invested in people and technology to support continued organic and inorganic growth.
