Dean Abou-Ali
VP Operations


"Our goal is to provide a full-service, "one stop shop" solution for our clients, a singular place they can reliably turn to for their staffing needs. We are an affordable personnel resource upon which our clients can depend. My philosophy is to provide each client with the service they deserve and people they require so that we become a part of their total personnel solution. We listen carefully to each client's concerns and then form a partnership -- one they can trust to serve their business needs."

With a degree in Accounting and Business Management, Dean has over twenty years of experience in the staffing industry. Prior to founding Star One Staffing of Madison, Dean was the Controller for one of the largest nursing and clerical staffing agencies in the Washington DC area, with sixteen offices in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Dean then used his previous experience working in a finance company to launch his own funding division for staffing agencies, including payroll services that produced over 175,000 checks annually. As an active partner in Momentum, a software development company that produces back and front office programs tailor-made for the staffing industry as well as accounting solutions for general business, Dean believes in a hands-on approach which gives him better insight into the everyday needs of today's business managers.

When Dean is not in the office, he and his wife enjoy hiking, clearing brush on their farm, having a good Bible study, working in the garden, and cooking. [Email]
