IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2009 - Cerius Interim Executive Solutions, the North American leader in delivering interim executive management solutions to growth focused businesses, today announced it has opened a new regional office in the Washington, D.C.- area. The East Coast office will be led by Kristen McAlister, executive vice president, and will help to better serve clients in this region. The company also announced it has hired Kathryn Gray as chief people officer at Cerius' Irvine, California headquarters. Gray will work with Cerius Interim's roster of nearly 600 interim executives nationwide.
"This expansion is an exciting milestone for Cerius because it illustrates that strong, experienced executives are still the key ingredient for helping companies accelerate growth and mitigate risk," stated Pamela Wasley, CEO of Cerius Interim Executive Solutions. "Our new Washington, D.C.-area office will address rising demand in the region for all executive-level functions. Kristen's background in leading major acquisitions, sales and operations initiatives will be an asset to both Cerius and our clients in the East."
Wasley continued, "Equally important is making sure our family of interim executives implement consistent best practices and continue professional development to ensure clients are working with the best in the industry. Kathryn's 25 years of experience in human resources, strategic planning and organizational development strategies will be instrumental in strengthening Cerius' interim executive community and continuing education."
