[Atlanta, GA – October 7, 2025] – In response to a rapidly shifting finance ecosystem demanding specialized talent, Tatum by Randstad -a trusted partner for professional and executive talent, leadership consulting, and finance transformation-today announced the appointments of Tony Uyehara as Executive Vice President and Nicole Smidt as Senior Vice President. These strategic new roles directly reflect the firm’s accelerated growth strategy focused on specialization, positioning Tatum to meet the growing need for leaders who can navigate financial transformation, regulatory complexity, and technological disruption.

Both Uyehara and Smidt bring extensive experience and a strong record of accomplishment that will be vital in guiding Tatum’s next phase of growth.

Tony Uyehara, joining Tatum as Executive Vice President, will be responsible for driving overall growth and strategy for the U.S. practice. With over three decades in professional services, Uyehara has built high-performing teams that help clients navigate critical financial transformations and complex regulatory environments-aligning seamlessly with Tatum’s commitment to its talent and clients.

Nicole Smidt joins Tatum as Senior Vice President, bringing more than 10 years of experience building and scaling a large consulting practice throughout the Southwestern U.S. Her proven ability to lead high-performance teams, coupled with deep finance and accounting expertise, will significantly enhance Tatum’s capacity to deliver specialized consulting solutions that address the nuanced challenges of the modern finance function-from M&A integration to systems modernization. Smidt’s involvement as a steering committee member for the CFO Leadership Council and as a partner for Financial Executives International (FEI) further underscores her industry prominence and commitment to excellence.

These key additions mark a significant step forward in Tatum’s and Randstad’s ambition to lead the executive search and professional services market-particularly within finance and accounting,” said Jason Flanders, President, Professional Talent Solutions. “Tony and Nicole’s deep expertise, combined with their proven ability to drive innovation, build strong client relationships, and grow successful practices, positions us perfectly to capitalize on the increasing demand for highly skilled finance and accounting leaders. Their leadership will be instrumental in strengthening Tatum and Randstad’s position as the market leader in F&A and significantly expanding our market share.

These appointments reinforce Tatum’s dedication to excelling in high-growth sectors and delivering best-in-class workforce solutions, further solidifying Randstad’s vision to be the world’s most equitable and specialized talent company.
