Mickey Wiles, CEO and founder of the South Burlington-based staffing agency Working Fields, has given up day-to-day oversight of the company and transitioned to the role of founder and chief financial officer. He also will continue to support Working Fields' nonprofit partner, Just Work, as it launches new programs and services.
Chief Operating Officer Chelsea Bardot Lewis has been named to succeed Wiles as CEO, and Senior Account Manager Lorcan Ackley has been promoted to director of operations.
“Chelsea and Lorcan have been an invaluable part of our team,” Wiley said, “and I am confident in their ability to lead the company forward.”
During Lewis' time as COO, Working Fields successfully raised over $2 million in equity capital, doubled revenue within three years and expanded from one office in Vermont to five offices in four states.
“I am honored to take on the role of CEO and am excited about the future of Working Fields,” said Lewis.
