Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – December 22, 2022 – Engage PEO, a leading professional employer organization (PEO) providing HR outsourcing solutions to small and mid-sized businesses across the U.S., is pleased to announce Alex Pisani has been promoted to the position of Chief Legal Officer, effective January 1, 2023. He was previously General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Sales at Engage.
“Alex is a valued leader who has served in several roles at Engage since 2015 when we were in the earlier stages of our journey of dramatic growth,” said Jay Starkman, CEO of Engage PEO. “His expertise and dedication have contributed significantly to our 50% growth in 2022 and I am excited that he will play an integral role in our plans for even greater growth in the future.”
In 2022, Engage PEO merged four PEOs, Innovative Employer Solutions, CEOHR, Fusion Employer Services, and Genesis HR Solutions, into the Engage family of companies. Pisani was instrumental in these transactions, and in his new position, will be even more instrumental in future ones.
“The PEO industry continues to prove its value to small and medium-sized businesses,” said Alex Pisani, chief legal officer. “Engage fills a distinctive need for expert strategic guidance in the complex and changing landscape of federal and state employment laws and regulations, especially to larger clients within that segment. Additionally, the fragmentation that exists in the PEO industry creates an opportunity for Engage, which has established itself as an ‘acquiror of choice’ in the industry.”
Pisani will focus on legal affairs and strategic business partnerships including legal, corporate compliance, business development, mergers and acquisitions, and the oversight of HR services for clients. Engage is the only PEO where HR consulting and compliance services are delivered to clients directly by a team of licensed attorneys.
