In this role, Knudson will have overarching financial responsibility for the company’s financial results, finance and accounting functions, including financial strategy and planning, financial reporting, internal audit, tax and treasury.
Knudson will join the NVA leadership team and report to Larry Allgaier, Chief Executive Officer of NVA Group. Knudson joins NVA from AMN Healthcare Services, Inc.

Knudson succeeds Luuk Hoogeveen, who successfully supported NVA through a period of significant growth and transformation over the last two years. Hoogeveen came to NVA with a mandate to improve financial performance, help strengthen the finance function and balance sheet, and partner to build strong long-term strategic plans focused on accelerating organic growth.
Going forward, Hoogeveen will serve in an advisory capacity to NVA, working closely with Knudson to ensure a thoughtful and seamless transition.
“We are very grateful for Luuk’s leadership and contributions to the organization,” said Larry Allgaier, Chief Executive Officer of NVA. “Luuk has helped put NVA in a stronger position for our future, and I am personally grateful to him for his results, his expertise and leadership.
