Proving herself an indispensable asset at PrideStaff as an executive VP since 2008, she swiftly rose through the ranks and was named Co-CEO in 2020. Heaton has consistently generated impressive results for the organization while building an industry-leading experience that has helped PrideStaff earn ClearlyRated’s coveted Best of Staffing Awards from 2010 through 2023.
