SANTA CLARA, CA | August 5, 2025 — One Workplace, one of the country’s leading providers of integrated workplace solutions for corporate, healthcare, education, and government organizations, today announced that Dave Albert has been named Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Albert succeeds Mark Baker, who after more than eight years of leading the company through significant growth, will work closely with Albert to ensure a smooth leadership transition before his planned retirement later this year.
“As we enter our second century, we’re doubling down on our ability to deliver end‑to‑end solutions that feel effortless for our clients,” said Mark Ferrari, Chairman of the Board. “Dave is a people‑first leader who knows how to weave our diverse capabilities into one cohesive customer journey. His appointment underscores our commitment to remain big enough to deliver and agile enough to listen.”
“Dave’s track record scaling multifaceted businesses and his respect for family‑owned values made him the clear choice,” explained Dave Ferrari, President. “He understands how to translate breadth into real‑world benefits: faster decisions, consistent quality, and a single accountable partner.”
Culture and community weighed heavily in the decision. Julie Jarvis, Executive Vice President, emphasized: “For 100 years we’ve believed thriving businesses start with thriving people. Dave’s passion for employee development mirrors our own commitment to care for our teams and give back to the communities we serve.”
Albert joins One Workplace from The Wheel Group, where, as President & CEO, he led a broad base business transformation marked by rapid growth in strategic accounts and global expansion. Earlier, he spent more than two decades at Stanley Black & Decker and Spectrum Brands, culminating in the leadership of Spectrum’s Home & Personal Care appliances division.
“One Workplace’s integrated model is uniquely positioned to help organizations create spaces that bring out the best in their people,” said Dave Albert, CEO. “I’m honored to join a company with a century‑long legacy of caring for customers and employees, and I look forward to building on that foundation together.”
