Expertise Group's History
Founded in 1999 by Doug Soares, an HR guy with a keen interest in optimizing personal performance and organizational effectiveness. By the time the global recession hit in 2009, the company had grown to 250+ clients and 60 employees. The company shrank in 2010 but has been growing ever since. A support office in Manila was opened in 2011 and the Cayman Islands office opened in 2020.

Their Clients
They keep winning new clients because of their reputation. By helping their first few clients succeed in 1999, word got around, and before long they had dozens, then hundreds, of local and international companies trusting them to serve them. Two-thirds of their clients are insurance and financial services companies with offices in Bermuda and/or Cayman. The remainder are local and global companies from a wide cross section of industries.

Their Employees
They employ a diverse team of highly credentialed experts who have a shared passion for helping people and organizations succeed. they care, they advocate and they support. Hence their tag line: "On Your Side. Committed to Success."

Their Most Sacred Principle
Not only do they not discriminate, they fight for equity. Beyond promoting equality of opportunity, they are activists for equity. That's why you will see many of their employees leading and supporting anti-discrimination causes. they oppose racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, ageism and lots of other isms. Why? Because people and organizations can never achieve optimal success if people and systems discriminate against them.
