The story
On January 17, 2012, Namely was founded in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Namely’s early service offering included HR information system, social newsfeed, payroll, and performance management tools. In 2016, Namely and Cigna introduced a new benefits exchange that included 12 pre-defined medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans. That year, Namely also relocated its corporate headquarters to lower Manhattan. In 2017, Namely introduced two new services: Time Management and Managed Services.
Since then, Namely has grown to add four more office locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Austin. Currently, it has over 500 employees and serves more than 1000 clients.
In May 2018, the company fired its founder and CEO Matt Straz for actions “inconsistent with that which is expected of Namely leadership". In August Elisa Steele was appointed as Namely’s permanent CEO. In July 2019, Larry Dunivan succeeded Elisa Steele as CEO.
