TrueBlue Appoints Elizabeth Castro Gulacsy to Board of Directors

The appointment is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to refresh its board, following a search led with the help of an independent firm.

Elizabeth Castro Gulacsy has over 25 years of experience in finance, accounting and capital markets. She previously served as CFO and Treasurer of United Parks & Resorts (formerly SeaWorld Entertainment), where she held several senior finance roles from 2013 to 2023.

She also helped lead the company’s 2013 IPO, debt refinancing and cost-saving initiatives.

Earlier, Castro Gulacsy spent more than 10 years at healthcare staffing company Cross Country Healthcare, where she became Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller. She began her career at Ernst & Young as an audit manager and supported Cross Country Healthcare’s 2001 IPO.

She currently serves on the board of NNN REIT, where she serves on the Audit and Governance and Nominating committees. She is a Certified Public Accountant and holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from the University of Florida.

“Elizabeth has 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,” said Chris Kreidler, Chair of the TrueBlue Board.
