Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – March 27, 2025 – Engage PEO, a leading professional employer organization providing HR outsourcing solutions to small and mid-sized businesses across the U.S., today announced that Elizabeth Rodd has joined the company as regional vice president of sales, Southeast. Rodd will lead the continued expansion of Engage’s sales team in the region, supporting both insurance broker partners and the growing number of businesses seeking a strategic HR partner.
“Companies across the Southeast are dealing with a fast-changing regulatory environment, intense competition for talent, and ongoing economic uncertainty,” said Jay Starkman, CEO of Engage. “More than ever, they need strategic HR partners who can help them navigate complexity and position their business for long-term success. Engage is committed to expanding our presence in the region, and Elizabeth is here to lead that charge. She understands the Southeast market, has deep relationships, and knows how to build and scale high-performing sales teams.”
Rodd brings a decade of experience in PEO sales and leadership, with a strong track record of driving growth through channel partnerships and consultative sales. She has held leadership roles at national PEOs, advising brokers and business owners on HR strategies that improve compliance, reduce risk, and enhance operational performance. Rodd is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
“The demand in the Southeast is real and growing. Business owners are looking for clarity and confidence in how they manage their HR compliance, and they’re not getting that from most providers,” said Rodd. “Engage delivers at a level that’s unmatched in the industry, and I’m here to build the team that will take that value to more businesses across the region. I’ve worked closely with brokers throughout my career and know how important the right partner is. Engage is that partner.”
