CGP Mexico is based on the company's successful "glocal" model, wherein CGP's Bloomington headquarters coordinates networks of local providers who implement and manage culturally relevant programs. This approach has proven to lower barriers and increase utilization in each of the 140 countries where CGP provides these services.

"Mauricio brings a unique combination of skills from a rich and diverse business background, having worked in financial services, insurance and HR," said Russ Hagen, CEO of Chestnut Global Partners. "He has a deep understanding of the social, economic and cultural issues that are causing the rise in everything from employee fatigue, to stress to depression in Mexico. We are delighted to have him lead CGP Mexico's sales and business development team, and look forward to continuing to build our presence across Mexico and Latin America, where the need for our services is great and growing."

Mauricio Moncayo Valarezo has over 20 years of experience in sales in the areas of financial services, insurance, retirement management, and human resources. He has worked at ICAMI, Seguros Monterey New York Life, ING and HSBC. He earned a degree in Business Administration and a master's degree in quality and productivity from Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico.  Mauricio is also bilingual (English and Spanish).

"Employees and their families are undergoing a difficult period, as many are dealing with the stress of a challenging economy, tax reform that has forced the elimination of benefits for basics such as transportation and food, plus a spike in violence across the country," said Mauricio. "The timing for 'localized' programs that address the underlying issues and counterproductive behaviors that often result couldn't be better. I look forward to raising awareness of Chestnut's services to companies across Mexico, and demonstrating their central role in improving employee focus, performance and productivity."
