MANAGEMENT TEAM

What kind of people would walk away from fat jobs in the technical staffing industry to test a theory about how it could be done better? Who would be so convinced it would work that they would leverage their homes, personal credit and slash their own salaries to get through a market downturn? What kind of business people would hope to increase profits by promising more and more to their clients and workers?

Meet the management team of Kineticom. Contrary. Audacious. Rebellious. And wildly successful.


Simon Billsberry

Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer

Simon Billsberry's authenticity, intuitive business savvy, approach to adversity and heart have made Kineticom a winning company. As CEO, Simon's goal is to establish Kineticom as the first iconic global brand in the talent industry. Growing up in a British military family, Simon lived his childhood throughout Europe, where his energy, drive and natural business instinct shaped his identity as a risk-taker, competitor and entrepreneur. From an early age, Simon quickly engaged people with his bold, tell-it-like-it-is style. True to his atypical trajectory and commitment to pursuing things he's passionate about, Simon received a degree in environmental science.

Coming out of University, Simon landed in the people business and was fast-tracked through the ranks at S-Com, a global telecom staffing firm. After growing its European client base to capture dramatic market share, he was assigned a turn-around effort for a struggling subsidiary in the United States. US operations were quickly recovered as he led its sales and marketing operations from start-up to revenues over $20 million.

Simon then decided that his biggest career risk would be to stay under the radar and lose his spirit by becoming entrenched in the comfortable politics & corporate bureaucracy of the torpid staffing industry. Simon and his co-founders broke off to shake up the talent industry. With a true understanding of the energy created by mutual trust, Simon and his leadership team have built a culture where employees and clients derive value from partnership. An extreme leader in all respects, Simon's passion and intensity extend to his appreciation for living life. Sports like surfing, wakeboarding and snowboarding rejuvenate him, and when he's not helping companies win the war for talent, he can be found anywhere sun, fun and natural beauty converge.


Mick Barber

Chief Financial Officer

Michael "Mick" Barber provides superior financial leadership as Kineticom's Chief Financial Officer. Tasked with quantifying Kineticom's financial success and ensuring its financial integrity, Mick's efforts today will enable Kineticom's strategic growth into a $500 million corporation. Since 2004, when he joined the dynamic team of executives, Mick has sought to continuously improve processes for the rapidly growing firm. Mick's prior experience includes serving as Director of Corporate Finance, focused on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and pricing with the Trizetto Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:TZIX); Corporate Controller for Endocare Inc. (OTC:ENDO) where he was a key team member during their public offering and acquisition of Timm Medical; and Head of Analysis for the Capital Markets Group at Barclays Global Investors (NYSE: BCS). Mick holds a bachelor's degree in economics from San Diego State University, and an M.B.A. from the University of San Francisco. An avid and former professional surfer, Mick is at his best when he is managing multiple variables in a barrel or a boardroom.


Steve Moreschi

Senior Vice President, Business Development

Steve Moreschi provides visionary sales leadership as Kineticom's Senior Vice President of Business Development. Tasked with growing Kineticom's current marketshare and introduction to new markets, Steve is a key team member as Kineticom embarks on its strategic growth plan. Since joining Kineticom, Steve has provided key counsel and leadership to the existing sales team and will focus his early efforts on a worldwide sales tour, further strengthening Kineticom's global reach. Steve's prior experience includes over fifteen years in the recruiting/talent industry in Asia Pacific, Europe, and the United States. He was the ninth employee at Glotel (LSE: GLO.L) where he launched the U.K. company's U.S. operations. During his tenure, Steve oversaw the growth and success of offices in Atlanta, San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, where the company serviced Fortune 500 accounts, most of which Steve personally signed. Steve holds a law degree from the University of Hull. When his passion for the law waned, time with his kids, supporting Plymouth Argyle soccer, and poker tournaments fill the void and most of his free time.


Carrie Pagliarini

Senior Vice President, Operations

As Kineticom's Senior Vice President, Operations, Caroline "Carrie" Pagliarini is charged with building the operational framework from which Kineticom will continue to achieve the success enjoyed in its formative years. Carrie's mission is to constantly move the business forward by developing and evolving an organization that connects people at every level to the heart and soul of Kineticom. With her passion for people, service and excellence, she provides a vocal and tough sensibility at the senior management level.

After graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Notre Dame, Carrie joined the leadership development program at Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F). Carrie showed her characteristic disregard for norms by crafting her own path through the multi-faceted business of Ford, working in finance, quality, customer service, sales, and marketing. At the Townsend Agency in San Diego, Carrie worked with CEOs to distill complex business models into compelling corporate identities and to develop brand-building strategies for clients in the business-to-business, service and technology sectors. While with Townsend, Carrie first met the Kineticom team, intuitively connected with their unique model and mission, and realized that she had to join the cause.

When not building high performance teams at work, Carrie's attention is drawn to the competitive arenas of college football and the NBA. A dedicated and devoted fan of the Fighting Irish and the Detroit Pistons, Carrie derives as much fascination with team dynamics off the field or court as she does on them.
