Appointments Bring Deep Workforce Services and HR Technology Leadership to Allvia's Board as Company Scales

SAN JOSE, Calif. & DALLAS: Allvia, a leading workforce services platform backed by Trinity Hunt Partners, today announced Chris Michalak, former CEO of Alight, and Larry Dunivan, former Chief Revenue Officer of Ceridian, as independent members of its Board of Directors. Together, they bring more than six decades of leadership experience across HR technology, employee benefits, and workforce services, marking the company's first independent director appointments.

Since launching earlier this year to help employers manage HR, benefits, and workforce operations, Allvia has expanded through the acquisitions of Melita Group, HR Pals, and Smith Communication Partners, while continuing to invest in technology, operations, and new service offerings that strengthen its workforce services platform.

“Allvia is rapidly scaling into a national workforce services platform, and attracting Chris and Larry to the Board is further validation of that trajectory," said Fred Pettijohn, Chief Executive Officer of Allvia. "They have each helped shape organizations that employers trust, and they'll be great thought partners as we continue expanding our platform and investing in the future."

Michalak brings more than 30 years of leadership in health, benefits, and human capital, including his tenure as CEO of Alight, a leading benefits, payroll, and cloud solutions provider. His experience scaling technology-driven benefits platforms directly supports Allvia's next phase of growth.

A veteran HR technology executive, Dunivan has built and scaled some of the industry's most recognized platforms, including as CEO of Namely and Chief Revenue Officer of Ceridian, now Dayforce. That track record of scaling HR technology businesses is exactly what Allvia will draw on as it continues to scale its platform.

"Independent oversight is an important part of building an enduring company, not just a growing one," said John Oakes, Partner at Trinity Hunt Partners and Chairman of the Allvia Board. "Chris and Larry bring that discipline and an outside perspective to the Board, which will only become more valuable as Allvia takes on more scale and complexity."
