Examinetics hires new CEO, turns focus to COVID-19 screening

Examinetics Inc. has a new CEO and a new offering to address the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Paul Fenaroli takes the helm of the Overland Park-based provider of onsite occupational health services. Fenaroli, who's been interim CEO for the past 100 days, founded Leawood-based Versus Strategic Advisors LLC, which provides business consulting services to financial sponsors, boards and CEOs of public and private companies. During his career, he also was chief strategy officer at Collective Brands Inc. and a vice president and partner at The Boston Consulting Group. 

"With more than 30 years in executive leadership roles, Paul has demonstrated a strong track record in initiating and leading change, driving results, strengthening operations and innovating amid a rapidly evolving digital marketplace," Examinetics board member Brian Block said in a Tuesday release. 

Block also praised Fenaroli's leadership during his time as interim CEO, saying that Fenaroli's "calm and steady hand has been invaluable as we navigate through the COVID-19 challenge." 

Examinetics now is helping tackle that challenge for mission-critical facilities in industries such as health care, food processing, energy and essential manufacturing. 

The company is offering customized screening and surveillance services to address concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, which is disease caused by a strain of coronavirus. Trained occupational health specialists will screen those entering facilities via protocols such as risk-factor questionnaires and temperature checks. 

The demand is so great that Examinetics plans to hire as many as 500 new employees — or more — nationwide and aims to fill roles as fast as possible, Fenaroli said in a statement. 

Examinetics also is prioritizing respirator fit testing and is diverting resources to health care employees and others on the "front lines of fighting COVID-19." 

"Since the first client request came in 10 days ago, we have seen a dramatic increase in requests for COVID-19 screening," Fenaroli said in the statement. "We are working diligently to offer this service to help minimize the risk of exposure to the coronavirus at mission-critical facilities."
