CEO
Delcie always wanted to create a company where he was excited to come to work every day and where his co-workers felt more like friends and family. This vision has carried Paragus through its growth and transition to employee ownership. His passion for economic development projects in the Valley led him to create Tech Foundry, a technology education nonprofit. When he’s not working, he loves spending time with his family, hiking, trail riding and enjoying ice cold grapefruit juice.
Director of Security and Compliance
Returning to the area from the west coast, Durand was happy to land at Paragus, where he likes the culture, camaraderie and diverse base of clients. As a Sierra Club member, he loves camping, hiking and embarking on new adventures. He enjoys trying new foods but with beverages, he sticks to the essentials: coffee, beer and water.
Director of Client Support
For Lisa, the best part of working at Paragus is the opportunity to partner with local businesses. In work and in life, she does her best to give back to those who have helped her. She is the proud parent of Lucy, a border collie/lab rescue, and is an avid hiker and camper. She is also no stranger to a well-made cocktail and a nice cheeseboard.
COO
Hilary is not ashamed of the fact that she’s a stereotypical New Englander with a love for apple picking in the fall. As a dog parent and animal lover, she is a big fan of the dog-friendly environment at Paragus. Hilary works hard all week and likes to relax on the weekends with family and a glass of cabernet.
Accounting Manager
Heather was drawn to Paragus by the collaborative culture—and the fact that we welcomed her with tacos when she came aboard. She’s a supporter of Shriner’s Hospital and a big believer in the importance of keeping hydrated. Outside of work, she loves music, singing and taking long, brisk walks.
Director of Strategic Services
Melissa was drawn to Paragus by the unique work culture. She runs on Dunkin coffee and has a terrier mix named Dorey. Melissa is an avid skier and a big supporter of the nonprofit Square One. She is passionate about being the best mom she can be to her children Ava and Colin.
CFO
One of the things Drew likes best about Paragus is the opportunity to be part of a talented staff and learn from coworkers with different backgrounds. Drew is a family man and lover of the outdoors. When he’s not spending time with his wife, kids, and cocker spaniel, you can find him enjoying the water–preferably on a jet ski, paddleboard, or kayak.
Director of Professional Services
The opportunity to work with a strong team was a motivator for Tess to come work at Paragus. When she’s not working, she enjoys hiking, camping, and spending time with her dog Watson and her cat Sadie. She’s passionate about education equity and a supporter of the EveryLibrary organization.
