CORPORATE OVERVIEW

Eliassen Group was founded in 1989 by Mona Eliassen, who started an IT staffing company to address the fast-growing needs in corporations for technology talent. She grew the company rapidly and led it through its meteoric growth and subsequent post-Boom period, never relinquishing her focus on delivery of quality staffing services. Over the past 18 years, the Technology Staffing Division has evolved from serving the greater Boston area to serving broader geographies, including New York, New Jersey and North Carolina. In all these locales Eliassen Group is now a preferred vendor of contract and direct-hire staffing solutions to corporations, state government and non-profit organizations.

In 2007, Mona stepped back from day-to-day leadership as CEO, but maintained her position as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors. She remains an active force in helping to shape the future of Eliassen Group. (Read her current letter.) When Mona relinquished her daily involvement in the company, Ken Dreyer became CEO and Tom Nunn became President.

In 2002, Mona and the Leadership Team began, informally at first, to address the shortage of data management talent in the bio-pharma industry. By 2006 it had become apparent that a strategic investment could grow a second line of business for Eliassen Group in this high-growth industry so the company initiated the eClinical Solutions Division to provide comprehensive data management and technical, consulting and training services for the bio-pharma industry.
