The Intersect Group Opens Chicago Office
Market demand and strong incumbent network pulls firm into Chicago market
ATLANTA—September 28, 2010—Pulled by market demand, The Intersect Group, a national consulting, technology and human capital services firm, announced today the opening of its Chicago office. The new office is located at 321 North Clark Street in downtown Chicago.
"We're witnessing two important trends. First, Chicago businesses are starting to invest again on initiatives that help drive efficiencies, stimulate growth and improve bottom-line results," said Wade Hughes, managing partner of The Intersect Group, which is headquartered in Atlanta, GA. "Second, as businesses recover and start to expand, they're in need of highly talented staff members to execute growth strategies. The Intersect Group is able to provide staff members in a very flexible manner, including contract, contract to hire, and direct hire employment. We also provide full-scale project management services should our client lack the internal capacity or expertise to take on the initiative.
The Intersect Group, which was recently ranked as the 477th fastest growing business in the U.S. on Inc. magazine's prestigious Inc. 500 list, has deep roots in the Chicago market. The majority of its founding partners are Arthur Andersen alumni.
"For anyone who worked with Arthur Andersen, Chicago is our second home," explained Steve Rothman, National Consulting and Technology Practice Director and a former Arthur Andersen Partner in Chicago. "It's the strength and caliber of that network that's driven the demand bringing The Intersect Group to Chicago. We are really excited about the opportunity to reconnect with and serve our former clients and colleagues in the Chicago area”

- Consulting services, including business transformation, IT strategy, compliance and risk management, program leadership and M&A services.
