TrueBlue, Inc. (NYSE: TBI) announced the appointment of Elizabeth Castro Gulacsy as an independent director to its board of directors, effective October 26, 2026. She will serve on the board's Audit Committee.

Castro Gulacsy brings more than 25 years of experience in public company finance, accounting, financial reporting, treasury, and capital markets. She previously served as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of United Parks & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: PRKS), formerly SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: SEAS), from 2013 to 2022, when she transitioned to a CFO consulting and advisory role with the company.

Earlier in her career, Castro Gulacsy spent more than a decade at Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (formerly Nasdaq: CCRN), a healthcare staffing company, where she rose to Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller. She began her career at Ernst & Young LLP as an audit manager.

She currently serves on the board of NNN REIT, Inc. (NYSE: NNN), where she is a member of the Audit and Governance and Nominating Committees. She is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Accounting from the University of Florida.

Chris Kreidler, Chair of the TrueBlue board, said Castro Gulacsy "led a public company finance operation through a period that demanded cost discipline, careful capital allocation, and clear communication with investors — for a business operating with a large, seasonal, hourly workforce."

With her appointment, the TrueBlue board consists of 10 directors, nine of whom are independent. The appointment followed a search conducted with the assistance of an independent director search firm, according to a company statement.
