Clark and Lavey Benefits Solutions, Inc. announces the retirement of their Vice President of Human Resources and Practice Leader, Armando Llorente, after many years of valued service. First, we’d like to say THANK YOU to Armando for your hard work, and CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement!
Large Shoes to Fill
Paul Clark, President & CEO, and Laura Bennett, CFO, both agree that Armando announcing his retirement was sad news for Clark & Lavey, but that everyone is happy for him. “It has been a pleasure to work with Armando for his tenure with us. He has been a complete asset to our organization and to our clients fulfilling the role of practice leader. Armando has always been ready to assist with any HR needs our clients have; everything from day-to-day issues to providing training courses geared toward a specific client based on their company size and needs. He is leaving large shoes to fill and he will be missed.”
The Impact of COVID-19
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to think differently about how we approach certain positions, and how we can adapt to address the evolving needs of our clients. One of those positions turned out to be the Human Resources Practice Leader role – which would have not been considered if not for Armando announcing his retirement. Stacy Barrow from Marathas Barrow Weatherhead Lent LLP will continue to work with us as our legal partner. And, he will also work in conjunction with our Human Resources department as needed.
