About Us

Frank Sands

Vice President – Strategic Initiatives

I started my career recruiting call center representatives for a global staffing firm. This experience quickly evolved into developing and managing the first Managed Service Provider solution for a Fortune 100 bank in the early 2000s. In my career I have sold and managed over $800 Million in non-employee worker spend. I enjoy looking at contingent labor programs holistically and finding new and innovative ways to reduce costs, improve quality, access to talent and drive efficiencies. I “geek out” on new and innovative technologies that are changing the way employers get work done and job seekers approach opportunities. Outside of work Frank enjoys paddle boarding and playing lacrosse with his wife and two children.

Since obtaining a bachelor’s degree in speech communication and business administration from California State University at Fullerton, I have enjoyed providing talent solutions to my clients for over 20 years. Previous to joining eTeam, I have held executive positions at Fastaff, U.S. Nursing, Randstad Professionals, Sirius Solutions, Yoh and Kforce.

The leadership roles I've held contribute to my expertise in multiple disciplines, including Finance & Accounting, IT, Engineering, and Healthcare. I am proud to be recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) as a thought leader around talent resource market conditions, and I have served as a frequent panelist at SIA events. I consider myself a knowledgeable and passionate leader, with high integrity, and I look forward to strengthening an already world-class executive leadership team at eTeam.

Robert Merritt

Chief Revenue Officer

After 15+ years of experience here’s what I know for sure. Experience is inevitable, learning is not. The difference between the two is knowing what you want to achieve and how well you improve your plan and decision making based on the people you listen to.

I’ve run sales teams for companies ranging from startups to global institutions for 15 years. I'm a passionate sales leader and go-to-market strategy expert. Building teams, revitalizing GTM strategy, developing scalable plans and products for future growth and expansion is what I love doing and what I do best.

As the Chief Revenue Officer of eTeam, I am responsible for all revenue-related activities across the organization, including building a world-class marketing department and leading sales efforts for our forthcoming total talent platform.
