“My role as CEO of TriNet provides a unique view into the world of SMBs, and I strongly believe there has never been a better time in history to start a business,” said Goldfield. “I am also seeing a tremendous opportunity right now for businesses to find and hire great people, and to leverage the significant advantages afforded by Artificial Intelligence (AI).”

“TriNet has an exceptional perspective on the state of small and medium-size businesses, especially over the past year through our work with more than 22,000 SMB customers,” said Mendenhall. “Burton is a passionate advocate for entrepreneurs and has a front-row seat to their struggles, opportunities and, most importantly, the innovative ways they are overcoming their challenges. SMBs are the driving force behind the U.S. economy, and it is vital that we continue to support their success. There is no one better to kick off our fourth annual TriNet PeopleForce than Burton, who has seen firsthand how businesses are adapting and overcoming obstacles to thrive and flourish.”

Goldfield joined TriNet in 2008 and is only the second CEO in the company’s 35-year history. He has more than four decades of experience in sales, operational, and technology leadership roles, and is known for influencing product innovation and business growth.

In his 15 years as President and CEO of TriNet, Goldfield has transformed the company into a leading cloud-based HR provider and professional employer organization. Under his leadership, TriNet now has a market capitalization of approximately 6 billion. He led the company through its initial public offering in March 2014.
