Trion Solutions, Inc., a premier professional employer organization (PEO), has named Pathik Mody as its chief technology officer, PR Newswire reported.

Mody began working for Trion Solutions in January after he left the accounting firm Deloitte. He was hired as the Michigan-based company's first director of information technology services and proved to be a major asset to the company's growth.

"Everything we do at Trion Solutions is designed to be among the best practices in all the PEO industry," David Stone, co-founder and president of Trion Solutions, said. "We have a reputation for being an industry leader and there is no question that Pathik Mody has helped us achieve that in the Information Technology area. His promotion to chief technology officer reflects his quickly becoming one of the PEO industry's top technology stars.  He is such a great asset to our company and all our client companies."
