Ignacioís experience in complex international HR solutions and entrepreneurial track record will be focused on continuing the strong growth in the US operations while pushing the focus on profitability and market recognition. ìARINSO USí HRO capabilities are clear to its increasing number of US customers,î states Ignacio. ìAnd our global presence and European footprint are well-recognized by one in five Fortune Global 500 employers.

Strategy & Business Development
Both executives joined ARINSO 2 years ago, bringing extensive HR outsourcing and shared service center delivery experience to the company. Cay Gliebeís extensive HR experience includes a military HR career, followed by a number of HR assignments, including leadership within Sears for its 250,000 employee service center. Her knowledge of HR strategy and service delivery challenges makes her a valued partner to clients as she leads the ARINSO US HR Strategy & Business Consulting team, providing executive sponsorship to key HRO deals. Cay now extends her expertise to manage all Strategy & Consulting Business across the Americas & Asia Pacific regions.

The key opportunity, Cay believes, is in ìassisting Human Resource executives in visioning, articulating and measuring the business value of HR to their colleagues at the leadership table.î Kasey Creteís HR industry experience includes line HR roles in MCI Systemhouse, regional executive leadership for EDS eSolutions group, and delivery & account management for Exult. Since joining ARINSO as VP HRO for the Americas, Kasey has managed the growth and stabilization of the ARINSO HR Service Center in Atlanta, GA and its integration with centers in Canada, Brazil, Brussels and Kuala Lumpur. As VP, Market Strategy & Business Development, Kasey will now focus on leveraging ARINSOís significant US capabilities. ìMany companies are unaware of the extensive existing capabilities of ARINSO in the US; even those who are familiar with our global presence and with our US HR integration capabilities may be unaware of our growing mid-market HRO client base and our impressive Strategy & Business Consulting practice.
