Giuliano joins Partner Principal James Davenport in Cleveland, Ohio where Partner is set to open a downtown office by fall 2016. In response to fast-growing demand in the region, Giuliano will be responsible for doubling the number of staff in the Cleveland area over the next year.

"Partner was recently name the number 1 provider of Environmental Site Assessments in Ohio, which is an achievement we're very proud of" says Derhake.  "Growing our strong presence in Cleveland will of course be critical to maintaining this title, and I'm very confident in Jennifer's ability to lead the expansion of our local resources there."
