The New Architect of Global Talent: Infotree's Play for Market Dominance

PLYMOUTH, Mich. – December 02, 2025 – In the high-stakes world of global business, the most valuable asset is not physical but human. For the Fortune 500 elite, the ability to deploy talent seamlessly across borders is a critical competitive advantage. It is within this complex and lucrative arena that Infotree Global Solutions has carved its niche. Now, with the appointment of seasoned industry veteran Matt Milano as its new Chief Executive Officer, the company is signaling a bold new chapter of strategic expansion, backed by a recent infusion of private equity capital.

The move comes just months after Kingswood Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm, completed a strategic investment in Infotree in February 2025. This combination of fresh capital and new leadership is designed to propel the workforce management provider from a founder-led success story into a dominant global force. Milano’s arrival is the capstone of a deliberate strategy to fortify the company’s leadership and scale its operations to meet the surging demand for sophisticated international personnel solutions.

An Architect of Growth Takes the Helm

Matt Milano is not simply a new executive; he is a proven architect of scale. His three-decade tenure at Motion Recruitment Partners (MRP), culminating in a 15-year presidency, saw the firm grow into one of North America's largest staffing companies, generating over $500 million in revenue. His inclusion in the Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) 2024 "Staffing 100 North America" list underscores his reputation as one of the industry's most influential figures.

This track record is precisely what Infotree’s new backers were seeking. “Matt is exactly the type of experienced leader and operator that we were looking for,” said Alex Wolf, Founder and Managing Partner of Kingswood. He noted Milano’s “proven track record scaling a major global staffing organization” as essential to stewarding Infotree through the intricate global regulatory landscape and positioning it for long-term growth.

Milano’s challenge—and opportunity—is to build upon the strong foundation established by founders John McKimmy and Raman Sawhney, who grew Infotree from a two-person operation in 2002 to a global entity with over 5,000 employees. In his new role, Milano is tasked with harnessing this legacy while injecting the strategic discipline required for hyper-growth. “I’m thrilled to join a leading global organization at such a pivotal moment in its trajectory,” Milano stated, emphasizing his intent to address clients’ “most challenging international human capital needs.”

Navigating the Frontier of Global Work

Infotree operates at the frontier of a fundamental shift in how the world works. The rise of remote work and the "gigification" of professional roles have permanently altered the talent landscape. Corporations are no longer bound by geography, but this freedom comes with immense complexity. Navigating a patchwork of labor laws, tax codes, and compliance requirements across more than 150 countries is a daunting task, and missteps can carry severe financial and legal penalties.

This is where the demand for premium Employer of Record (EOR) and international workforce management services has exploded. The global market for these solutions was valued at nearly $9.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to more than double to over $19 billion by 2033. Infotree provides a bespoke service for this market, managing contingent staffing, Statement of Work (SOW) projects, and independent contractor compliance for its elite clientele.

The company differentiates itself with a high-touch, quality-centric approach. It boasts a talent acquisition turnaround time nearly double the industry average and maintains a dedicated "Consultant Care Group" to support its contractors, resulting in low turnover—a key metric of quality and stability in the staffing world. This focus on premium service is critical for Fortune 500 clients who cannot afford disruptions in their global operations.

Fusing Founder Vision with Private Equity Firepower

The transition at Infotree is a case study in corporate evolution: how a founder-led company partners with private equity to achieve its next stage of development without losing its core identity. Kingswood Capital’s investment thesis targets precisely these kinds of businesses—founder-owned companies at a strategic "inflection point."

Crucially, founders John McKimmy and Raman Sawhney are not exiting. They will continue in active roles and as board members, investing alongside Kingswood. This hybrid governance model aims to blend their deep institutional knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit with the financial acumen and operational resources of their new partner. “We’re proud of the company we built and are confident that Matt is the right leader for Infotree’s next stage of growth,” the founders said in a joint statement. Their continued presence ensures that the values and client-centric culture that defined Infotree's initial success will “carry forward.”

This strategic partnership provides Infotree with the capital to invest in technology, expand its global footprint—particularly from its strong base in Latin America—and compete more aggressively with larger players like Deel, Remote, and Globalization Partners.

Assembling a Leadership Vanguard for Global Conquest

Milano’s appointment is the centerpiece of a broader, strategic reinforcement of Infotree’s entire leadership structure. In 2025, the company methodically built a new executive vanguard to oversee its ambitious expansion. Klaus Geiser joined as Chief Financial Officer, tasked with managing the financial architecture of a rapidly scaling global entity. Maynil Lambert was appointed Chief Transformation Officer, a role dedicated to driving operational change and innovation across the organization.

The board was also strengthened with the addition of Rebecca Henderson as Executive Chair and Shawn Poole as an Independent Director. Henderson’s role provides high-level strategic guidance, bridging the board and the executive team, while Poole brings an essential outside perspective to ensure robust corporate governance.

This comprehensive build-out of the C-suite and board demonstrates a clear understanding that sustainable growth is not just about a star CEO. It requires a deep bench of specialized expertise in finance, operations, and governance. With this fortified leadership team, a proven growth architect at the helm, and the backing of strategic capital, Infotree Global Solutions is now powerfully positioned to redefine leadership in the complex, high-value world of international workforce management.
