Miramar, FL, January 30, 2024 – Genesis Global, a privately held, certified woman-owned staffing and workforce solutions provider, announced today that Ernesto Di Giambattista has been appointed as the newly created chief operating officer of Genesis Global. In his new role, Di Giambattista will oversee all Genesis Global operations including developing new channels of business and streamlining operations to grow and scale the company. He will report to Tom Meredith, CEO of Genesis Global.
Di Giambattista was named COO of Genesis Global after founding Genesis Accel in 2021. Under Di Giambattista’s leadership, Genesis Accel successfully built an emerging opportunity fund where he oversaw investment in over a dozen companies and advised multiple investments on strategic exits over a short 24 months. Genesis Global’s core business is staffing direct hire, temporary workforce, and contract consulting but it has expanded to now offer technical outsourcing, cyber security services, and access to venture funding. As one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the staffing industry, Genesis Global has grown 385% over the last five-year period, and is now operating in seven countries, impacting over 50 industries.
A strategic partner of Genesis Global, Genesis Accel was started by proven operators and investors with decades of experience and expertise in core technology. Genesis Accel invests in early-stage startups that will impact the digital revolution. The organization’s portfolio includes Siriux (acquired by Vectra.ai), Versus, Infinite Reality, Seekr.ai and Highsman and participation in MoonPay, Gemini, and Animoca Brands.
Di Giambattista has started several successful businesses, including application security orchestration firm ZeroNorth, which he led through multiple rounds of funding and deployment at several Fortune 100 companies.
“Genesis Global’s diverse range of services is strategically designed to meet the evolving needs of modern businesses and the workforce,” said Tom Meredith, CEO of Genesis Global. “Ernesto is a proven leader in his role at Genesis Accel and with his entrepreneurial, growth-oriented background and enterprise knowledge, he knows what is needed to grow Genesis Global from a regional operation to an enterprise on a national scale. Ernesto is a great addition to the Genesis Global leadership team that is helping to position our company as an essential growth partner to our clients.”
“Genesis Global has a massive opportunity to propel growth and scale,” said Ernesto Di Giambattista, COO at Genesis Global. “By leveraging the company’s strong foundation of service, offerings, and expanding customer base, we have the flexibility to explore new growth avenues that can align with the dynamic needs of today’s business environment.”
Prior to ZeroNorth, Di Giambattista held multiple business and technology executive roles including at Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group. There he was responsible for transforming his organization into a technology services group, to include the development of a center of operational excellence and full redesign of critical security controls, while decreasing the organization’s operational costs. Previously, Di Giambattista served as senior member of Bank of America’s Information Security & Resiliency Group and Corporate Audit organizations, where he was responsible for assessing and managing the information security risk of global technology vendors. In addition, during his tenure, he was instrumental in the cybersecurity integration of acquisitions of other financial institutions.
