In a recent shake-up of its executive team, ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ:PIXY), a workforce management service provider, has reappointed Patrice Launay as its Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. This announcement follows the company's termination of Douglas Beck from the CFO position and Amanda Murphy as Chief Operating Officer on March 6, 2024.
Patrice Launay, 48, is stepping back into a role he is familiar with, having previously served as ShiftPixy's CFO from January 2018 to July 2019. His return comes after a stint as a financial consultant for various mid-sized and large publicly traded companies where he assisted with reporting obligations, technical accounting, and the implementation of new accounting standards.
Launay's extensive experience in financial management and auditing is expected to be a valuable asset to ShiftPixy. Before his consultancy role, he worked as an audit manager for BDO Australia and as an audit senior for BDO USA LLP in Orange County, California. His background also includes serving as an audit manager for the City Auditor's Office of the City of Long Beach, California, and as a financial controller for Groupe Roullier in France.
Launay's academic credentials include a master's degree in Finance and Accounting from the Business School of Tours in France, along with completed coursework from Rutgers University's MBA program. He holds several professional certifications, although some are currently inactive, including a California Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Fraud Examiner license, and a Series 65 securities license.
