Genesis10 plans Troy office, expects to add 296 jobs

New York-based Genesis10 was looking for a place where it could get its projects done, and the technology firm found that location in Metro Detroit.

The 11-year-old company is opening a new development center in Troy this summer. It's a move that promises $2.2 million worth of investment and 296 new jobs over the next five years. Of those jobs, 82 are expected to be created within the first year. Hiring is expected to begin in August when the government paperwork is finalized. Genesis10 choose Michigan over another site in Missouri partly because of the state's deep pool of talented project managers.

"The world-recognized companies that are in the area are strong in project management," says Stephanie Schreurs, marketing director for Genesis10. "All of the things our clients expect from us we know we can find in Michigan."

The new office will specialize in domestic project delivery. That means that most of the positions at Genesis10's Troy office will be for project managers, software engineers, data experts, and other technology professionals. To ensure closure of the deal, the Michigan Economic Development Corp awarded the firm a $2.1 million tax credit over the next five years.
