Chris will continue to serve as a Director on the CSI Companies Board. Chris brings over 25 years of staffing industry experience to the CEO role, sharing 18 of those years with CSI.

It is my desire to formally communicate my retirement, and announce my successor, Chris Flakus, as the incoming CEO of CSI Companies, said Rafe Sanson, former CEO of CSI Companies. Chris has served as the Chief of Operations of CSI Companies for the last 8 years with oversight of the companys strategic operations. CSI is fortunate to have an established leader in Chris, who is well equipped to transition into the CEO role so seamlessly.

Under Chris leadership, CSI has obtained double-digit growth year-over-year. Chris has successfully started up two new divisions and directed CSIs expansion into the western United States, opening offices in Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix.

In 2010, together with Rafe Sanson, they helped facilitate the acquisition of CSI by Japanese recruiting firm RGF Staffing (formerly Recruit Staffing), a part of Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd.
