Dallas, Feb 11 — Trinity Hunt Partners, a growth-oriented private equity firm, today announced the formation of Allvia, a workforce services platform designed to deliver scalable HR and benefits services across the full employee lifecycle. Fred Pettijohn, an experienced executive and investor who partnered with Trinity Hunt through its Exec+ program, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of Allvia.
Allvia was formed through Trinity Hunt’s investment in Melita Group, a human resources, benefits administration, and payroll provider headquartered in San Jose, California. Allvia’s mission is to build a market-leading workforce services platform that pairs hands-on expertise with scalable solutions to help employers better support their people and strengthen their businesses.
“Melita has earned a strong reputation for helping clients address their most complex workforce challenges,” said Fred Pettijohn, CEO of Allvia. “As employers face growing pressure to control costs, stay compliant, and deliver great employee experiences, we see a clear opportunity to build a market-leading platform that pairs deep expertise with the scale needed to help businesses succeed. Trinity Hunt’s collaborative approach and commitment to culture align perfectly with our values as we build this platform.”
Trinity Hunt will support Allvia with the strategic, operational, and financial expertise needed to accelerate growth through targeted organic initiatives and additional partnerships.
“We are excited to partner with Fred and the Melita team as we work to establish Allvia as an industry leader,” said John Oakes, Partner at Trinity Hunt Partners. “We look forward to supporting Allvia’s growth through additional partnerships with like-minded companies that expand the platform’s geographic footprint and service capabilities.”
