ExtensisHR, a nationally recognized Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and HR Outsourcing (HRO) provider, has named Nicholas Kapiotis as its new Senior Vice President, Legal and Compliance. Kapiotis joins the firm during a period of strategic expansion, bringing over two decades of specialized PEO legal expertise to bolster the company’s regulatory oversight and governance framework.
New Leadership: Nicholas Kapiotis joins as SVP, Legal and Compliance.
Industry Pedigree: Previously served as General Counsel for NAPEO (National Association of Professional Employer Organizations).
Strategic Focus: Strengthening the compliance foundation to support rapid organizational scaling.
Executive Momentum: Follows the recent appointments of Jen Morrow (President/COO) and Alan Missen (CIO).
Expertise: Deep experience working with the IRS, Department of Labor (DOL), and state/federal legislators.
As ExtensisHR continues to scale its operations, the appointment of Kapiotis signals a move to align high-level legal guidance with business growth. His background is particularly significant given his previous role at NAPEO, where he was at the forefront of shaping the regulatory landscape for the entire PEO industry.
“Adding someone of Nick’s caliber is an important step forward for the business,” said Blake Morris, CEO of ExtensisHR. “His deep expertise in PEO legal and regulatory matters will help us further strengthen our compliance foundation as we scale.”
Kapiotis’ career has been defined by his ability to navigate complex employment laws and federal agency requirements. At NAPEO, he played a critical role in representing the industry’s interests before major government bodies. At ExtensisHR, he will focus on ensuring that client services remain in full regulatory alignment, providing small- and medium-sized businesses with the confidence that their HR operations are legally rigorous.
“The company has earned a strong reputation for delivering exceptional customer service,” noted Kapiotis. “I’m committed to giving clients the same confidence that our legal and compliance operations are rigorous, guided by integrity, and in full regulatory alignment.”
With Kapiotis joining a refreshed executive suite that includes a new COO and CIO, ExtensisHR is reinforcing its infrastructure to deliver more complex HR, benefit, and payroll solutions. The firm remains focused on its "Work Anywhere®" technology and risk management portfolio, ensuring that its service model remains resilient in an evolving legal environment.
