Technology leader joins as company expands Intellify® and strengthens AI, automation, and digital infrastructure across the enterprise

BOCA RATON, Fla.: Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCRN), a technology-driven healthcare workforce solutions company, today announced the appointment of Chris Tyrell as Chief Information Officer, supporting the company’s next phase of enterprise technology investment and execution as it advances its AI, automation, and platform strategy.

Tyrell joins Cross Country with more than 20 years of executive technology leadership across workforce solutions, staffing, software, and supply chain environments. He most recently served as Chief Technology Officer at Eclipse Advantage, where he led enterprise platform strategy, large-scale systems transformation, and technology initiatives focused on operational performance, automation, and growth.

His appointment comes as Cross Country continues to expand Intellify®, its market-leading workforce intelligence platform, while scaling broader enterprise capabilities designed to improve speed, visibility, interoperability, and decision-making across the business.

“Technology has to do more than support the business. It has to move it,” said Chris Tyrell, Chief Information Officer of Cross Country. “What drew me to Cross Country is the opportunity to help build a more connected, intelligent, and scalable enterprise. The company has real operating depth, strong market relevance, and a clear ambition to lead through better platforms, better data, and smarter execution. That is the kind of foundation you can build on in a meaningful way.”

As CIO, Tyrell will lead Cross Country’s enterprise technology organization, with responsibility spanning infrastructure, systems modernization, platform integration, cybersecurity, AI enablement, and digital transformation. He will work closely with business and functional leaders to strengthen the company’s technology backbone while accelerating innovation across client-facing, candidate-facing, and internal capabilities.

“We are not investing in technology to keep up. We are investing to lead,” said Kevin Clark, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country. “Chris understands that technology is not a support function. It is a growth lever, an operating lever, and a competitive advantage. He brings the experience, urgency, and execution mindset to help us strengthen the enterprise, scale Intellify, and execute the next phase of our AI and technology roadmap.”

Tyrell’s appointment reflects Cross Country’s broader commitment to building a more intelligent, integrated, and future-ready AI-driven operating model, one designed to strengthen workforce solutions delivery while expanding the company’s long-term technology advantage. That strategy includes continued investment in predictive workforce intelligence, workflow automation, system interoperability, and digital tools that improve outcomes for clients, clinicians, and internal teams.
