Evette Accelerates Internal Growth by Appointing Two Members to Their Leadership Team

Leading Veterinary Staffing Agency Expands Leadership Team by Hiring VPs of Finance and HR

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evette, the leading nationwide veterinary relief staffing agency, today announced the expansion of its leadership team with two new positions—Justin Saunders has been named the Vice President of Finance and Michelle Sanders appointed Vice President of Human Resources. These new hires come as Evette continues rapid growth and innovation in the veterinary industry, reinforcing its commitment to addressing issues like veterinary burnout, mental health, and stagnation.

Justin Saunders, an accomplished financial leader, transitions to Evette from a career in corporate finance and accounting. His tenure includes six years at American Airlines, where he managed the financial operations of three major aircraft maintenance facilities across the U.S. More recently, Saunders has spent the last four years at various smaller SaaS and private equity companies, optimizing their financial strategies to further their success. In his new role, Saunders will work closely with the leadership team, refining financial metrics and leveraging them to propel Evette forward.

“I am thrilled to join Evette during this exciting period of growth. As we face a shortage of pet care providers, it's crucial that we grow the business by expanding our network of veterinary professionals and provide them with the tools and resources they need to be successful, ultimately improving the availability of care for pets and their families across the country,” said Saunders. “I look forward to leveraging my financial expertise to share Evette’s mission and demonstrate what they’re capable of doing for the veterinary industry.”

Michelle Sanders brings more than two decades of human resources experience to Evette. She is well-known for her ability to create effective organizational structures and provide guidance to C-level executives and boards to maximize company and employee potential. In this role, Sanders will enhance Evette’s HR operations and expand the team and its offerings, providing the same bespoke benefits to internal employees as they do to veterinary clients.

“Being a lifelong pet owner, I have always admired the veterinary field and the important role it plays for so many families in the U.S.,” said Sanders. “Joining Evette felt like the perfect opportunity to merge my love for animals with my professional abilities. I am excited to be able to contribute to the company's expansion and begin merging our company’s internal and external processes to create an outstanding and innovative workplace for both our employees and our veterinarians."

Since its launch in 2016, Evette has grown into a successful eight-figure company, achieving unparalleled success in a niche industry where innovation has been stagnant. Evette is setting a new standard for staffing practices that are lacking in an industry where 40 percent of veterinarians are thinking about leaving altogether. Specializing in staffing solutions for more than 2,500 clinics across the U.S and boasting a 91 percent retention rate, what sets Evette apart is its unique concierge service and guaranteed salary program, as well as other benefits such as PTO, 401k benefits, stock options, and a personal booking agent clients can speak to live, 24/7, 365 days a year. Their innovative and personalized approach to client services and employee maximization, paired with their skills and passion for animal care sets them apart from their competitors and ensures that clinics, vet professionals, and their internal employees all thrive in their partnerships.
