As Chief Operating Officer, Charlie Holbech is responsible for all leading all commercial and operations aspects of HR Acuity, including sales and marketing, technology, client success and innovation.

Charlie joined HR Acuity in 2019 after 20 years in startups. Most recently he was Vice President, Client Experience at WorkMarket, an enterprise software platform that enables companies to organize, manage and pay freelancers, acquired by ADP in 2018.

Charlie helped successfully position WorkMarket for the acquisition by leading a complete overhaul of customer operations, resulting in 97% retention rates achieved by a highly trained, strategic client experience team.  Before ADP, Charlie held senior operational, marketing and client experience roles at multi-national technology companies and startups, including Sailthru, Outbrain and Yahoo!. He also co-founded Visual Revenue, the first predictive analytics company for news media, which was acquired by Outbrain in 2013.

Charlie’s special area of expertise is designing and optimizing the customer lifecycle. He came to HR Acuity because he’s excited by our dynamic industry, collaborative team and singular focus on helping our amazing clients manage their toughest employee issues.
