Blue Rock Human Capital Recruits Chief People Officer for Michelli Weighing & Measurement
May 22, 2026 – Talent acquisition strategies at many large companies have become as complex as their balance sheets. And while chief human resource officers play a vital role in overseeing an organization’s broad-based workforce, the chief people officer typically goes beyond overseeing its people policies. The focus instead is on building talent as a key competitive advantage, with more emphasis on culture, which includes values, ethics, and mission. They are responsible for championing an organization’s talent through the development and execution of a comprehensive people strategy and employee experience.
As companies look to build internal brand awareness and set their sights more on establishing and driving their own unique cultures, CPOs are coming more into vogue. And executive search firms have been stepping up their efforts to assist companies to find new chief people officers. Blue Rock Human Capital has placed Rick Angeli as the new chief people officer of Michelli Weighing & Measurement.
“Rick is a seasoned HR leader with a strong track record of building high-performing cultures, developing talent strategies, and aligning people initiatives with business growth,” Blue Rock Human Capital said in a LinkedIn post. “In this role, he will lead the company’s people strategy, helping to drive organizational effectiveness and support continued expansion. Michelli Weighing & Measurement continues to invest in leadership that strengthens both its culture and long-term success. Congratulations to Rick and the entire Michelli team on this exciting milestone.”
Mr. Angeli is an accomplished human resources executive with over 25 years of leadership experience driving strategic growth and organizational excellence. He thrives at aligning people strategies with business objectives, and is focused on delivering measurable results in operational performance. Mr. Angeli previously was chief human resources officer and vice president of human resources at Aruza Pest Control, where he helped guide HR operations during a period of organizational growth. Earlier in his career, Mr. Angeli held senior HR leadership roles with NSI Industries LLC, Boral, SEL, and Elster Rometrics, leading initiatives across talent management, employee engagement, workforce integration, organizational development, and M&A activity.
In his new position with Michelli Weighing & Measurement, Mr. Angeli leads transformative HR initiatives that strengthen culture, elevate employee engagement, and support scalable business performance. He will be based in Charlotte, NC.
