HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
G&A Partners, an integrated Houston-based Human Resource (HR) and
administrative services company, announced today that it has opened a
new office in Chicago, Illinois. The Chicago office, located 2522 N.
Willetts Court, Suite 1S, Chicago Illinois, is the first G&A office
outside of Texas and reflects the firm's new strategy to expand its
service offering beyond state lines.
As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) for more than a
decade, G&A has taken on integral HR and administrative functions for
small to medium sized businesses throughout Texas and served as
co-employer to their employees so business owners can focus their
time, talent and energy on growing their businesses. Now G&A is
bringing its experience and expertise in human resources, employee
benefits, payroll services, and risk management to Chicago and the
State of Illinois.
Christina Grijalva and Jennifer Hickman, both regional managers,
will oversee G&A's operations in Illinois. To avoid unnecessary
redundancy, the Chicago office will be supported by G&A's
state-of-the-industry systems and technology. G&A anticipates this
approach to become a model that can be replicated in other cities or
states where it makes sense.
"We are excited to announce our most recent business expansion and
to introduce G&A to the Chicago market," said John Allen, President
and COO, G&A Partners. "Christina and Jennifer have a wealth of HR
experience and a unique understanding of Chicago and the PEO industry.
We are confident that G&A can make a valuable contribution to growing
businesses throughout Illinois."
Christina Grijalva has a degree in actuarial science form the
University of Michigan and an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of
Management. She worked for three years at one of the preeminent HR
firms in the world and was a manager of Revenue Management for United
Airlines. Most recently Christina worked for a large insurance company
where she was director of Business Line Management.
Jennifer Hickman has a degree in Human and Family Resource Studies
from Northern Illinois University and an MBA from North Park
University. Jennifer has gained extensive marketing experience. She
worked for a large national retailer based in Chicago and held the
position of marketing director for a number of different
organizations, most notably, Director of E-Commerce at
Nightingale-Conant Corporation. Prior to joining G&A, Jennifer was
director of Business Line Strategy at a large insurance company.
