David Alexander is president of Adecco Group North America's finance, office, and healthcare divisions, which include the leading brands Accounting Principals, Parker & Lynch, Ajilon, Paladin and Soliant Health. After leading the company’s healthcare divisions for 13 years, Alexander’s role expanded in October, 2015, to include executive leadership of Adecco Group’s finance and office brands.
Alexander began his career in healthcare staffing in 1992 when he founded Atlanta-based Elite Medical. Elite found a niche by providing traveling and contract healthcare professionals to medical facilities throughout the country. By 2002 he led the company to number 218 on Inc.

Elite Medical was subsequently re-branded as Soliant Health.
