Fifth-time honoree recognized for leadership as Dexian puts its operating model to work in a changing staffing market

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) has named Tara Winn, Chief Operating Officer at Dexian, to its 2026 Global Power 150 Women in Staffing list. The annual list honors women whose leadership is shaping the staffing and workforce solutions industry. This marks the fifth time Tara has received this distinction since 2020.

"The 2026 Global Power 150 Women in Staffing demonstrate that innovation and people-centered leadership aren't competing priorities," said SIA President Ursula Williams. "These leaders are putting new technologies into practice while developing talent, strengthening organizations, and creating new opportunities for the people they serve."

In 2026, Tara continued to lead a unified approach across Dexian's sales, delivery, and leadership teams. With staffing demand shifting and client needs evolving, she focused on putting the company's operating model to work; bringing greater discipline to execution across all facets of the business without limiting ability to adapt and pursue new opportunities.

This model has been years in the making. Tara helped shape Dexian's one-model approach as its legacy brands consolidated in 2021 and ultimately rebranded as Dexian in 2023, unifying people and processes to operate as a single, effective organization. Today, her focus has moved from building the model to expanding its impact across Dexian: aligning teams around shared priorities, maintaining accountability, investing in the next generation of leadership, and adapting capabilities as client needs change.

This approach extends to Dexian's international growth, where Tara has played a key role in building scalable delivery models across global markets. She has also focused on how AI can strengthen Dexian's solutions offerings, including technology roadmaps centered on core process automation. Across Dexian, Tara reinforces operating discipline with an eye toward how it can best prepare the business to grow into new markets and capabilities.

"Tara has always understood that a strong operating model has to work day-to-day for our teams while remaining responsive to change," said Maruf Ahmed, Dexian's CEO. "She keeps our standards high and our business moving forward, ensuring that the needs of our clients are always at the center of how we operate."
