Engage PEO Strengthens Midwest Sales Team

Fort Lauderdale, Fla., September 14, 2026 — Engage PEO, a leading professional employer organization providing HR outsourcing solutions to small and mid-sized businesses nationwide, today announced that Josh Verbish has joined the company as vice president of sales in Indiana. In this role, he will work with insurance brokers, other business advisers and employers across Indiana while supporting Engage’s continued growth throughout the Midwest.

Verbish brings more than 20 years of consultative B2B sales experience, with deep experience in PEO, human capital management, payroll, employee benefits, HR and compliance solutions. He has spent several years serving businesses across Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, developing referral relationships and advising business owners, CEOs, CFOs and HR leaders on complex workforce needs. Most recently, Verbish sold PEO solutions in the Indianapolis market for a large national provider, where he earned recognition as one of the organization’s top-performing sales professionals. His earlier PEO experience includes serving employers and referral partners across multiple Midwest markets.

“Indiana has been a growth region for Engage, especially after the acquisition of FullStack PEO, and Josh adds valuable PEO experience there,” said Jay Starkman, CEO of Engage. “He has worked with businesses and referral partners across Indiana and neighboring states and brings a strong record of sales performance. That experience will help Engage reach more employers facing complex HR and risk management challenges.”

“Josh comes to Engage with something especially valuable for this role: years of PEO experience across some of the same Midwest markets where the company is expanding,” said Patrice Alvino, group vice president of sales, Northern Divisions. “He has built business through brokers and other trusted advisers, worked directly with executive decision-makers and consistently delivered strong results. He adds another proven PEO professional to an increasingly strong sales team.”

“Employers and advisers have plenty of choices when it comes to PEOs, but the level of HR expertise and service behind those choices can vary considerably,” Verbish said. “What matters is the quality of the HR support behind the sale and how well the PEO takes care of the client and the referral relationship. Engage has built its reputation around those things. I’m excited to represent a company that brings that level of expertise and service to the market.”
