Amrinder Romana
honoree profile
Since founding Pacer Group with his wife over 10 years ago, Amrinder Romana has guided the organization from its inception as a hire-train-deployment company to a prominent staffing and technology services firm. The minority- and women-owned company initially focused on training and deploying candidates in cyber security, identity and access management roles. Romana oversaw its transformation into a full-fledged staffing organization in order to find placements for trained resources once their initial projects concluded.
Romana sees the company not just as a staffing firm but as a technology services provider, ensuring it stays innovative to stay ahead in the industry. This approach has paid off, with Pacer ranking as a Fastest-Growing US Staffing Firm in 2023 with a compound annual growth rate from 2018-2022 of 133.2%.
Romana envisions significant growth in the technology services segment and aims to expand Pacer’s global footprint, including ventures into Europe and Latin America. He’s particularly focused on navigating the complex, ever-changing compliance landscape in the US, which presents ongoing challenges for the industry.
Romana is motivated by integrating new technologies and innovations into Pacer’s services, enhancing processes such as onboarding and candidate assessment through automation and AI. He takes pride in pioneering the hire-train-deploy model, which has become a buzzword in the industry.
Under his leadership, Pacer Group continues to thrive, embodying a commitment to technological excellence and strategic growth while remaining a proud minority- and women-owned enterprise.
