Delores M. Kesler
Delores Kesler is founder, director and chairman emeritus of Talagy and an executive, entrepreneur, and nationally recognized business and community leader with a rich history of success in the staffing industry. Kesler founded ATS Services in 1977 when she took out a loan for $10,000—a difficult challenge for a young, single mother during that time. She paid off the loan in six months and then led her company to great success, eventually forming a parent company that merged with three other staffing firms. The resulting business split into two ventures. The first became AccuStaff (now Modis/MPS Group) in the 1990s and the second became ATS Services (now Talagy). Kesler took AccuStaff public in 1994, becoming the first woman in Florida and one of the first women in the U.S. to lead an IPO, and ran the company as Chairman and CEO until she retired in 1997. She came out of retirement to serve as Chairman of the Board of ATS Services from 2007-2009 and also serves on the boards of several other companies and community organizations, including The St. Joe Company, PSS World Medical, and the Horatio Alger Foundation.
