"I always come from a place of ‘yes.’ I work really hard to find solutions instead of saying a flat no." - Priya Hiraga

With over 20 years of experience in all areas of human resources, Priya leads our firm’s internal HR team. She is responsible for guiding and managing internal HR policies and programs, including internal recruiting/staffing needs, performance management, employment and regulatory compliance, policy development, and compensation and benefits administration.

Priya also works with James Moore’s leadership to accomplish strategic alignment of the HR function to the firm’s goals, and she serves as the office managing person (OMP) of our Tallahassee location.

Fun Facts

A fitness enthusiast, Priya has taken 1,800 Pure Barre classes and likes signing up for races, including marathons (although she regrets these once training starts).

She also loves airports and the notion of people traveling worldwide from one building (plus the people watching!).

Priya hates roller coasters but will ride nearly any coaster at least once—to confirm the fact that she hates roller coasters.
