GTEX Corporation is a great success. Your friend who helped found the company sold his
interest to a larger entity but the company remains as GTEX. Because of their professionalism,
GTEX grew exponentially. Now they have 200 employees and train employees all over the
world. After working in International HR for many years, you accepted a job offer from GTEX to
become the new HR director there. The first few weeks the previous director is still on the job,
so you really do not get too involved but just acclimate yourself…until now!

Oh, and welcome aboard!
