N.O. tech and professional services firm opening B.R. office

GCR Inc., a New Orleans-based technology and professional services company, today laid out its plans for a recently opened Baton Rouge office at 5153 Bluebonnet Blvd., suite B. The company, which also recently opened a new office in Los Angeles, says it intends to recruit from a pool of qualified professionals in the Capital Region to fill the Baton Rouge office and support its growing international client base. The new offices are part of a growth strategy developed by the company’s new CEO, Joseph Doherty. “Employees based in the Baton Rouge office may find themselves working for clients based in this region or as far away as Asia, Latin America or Bermuda,” Doherty says in a prepared statement. Five employees are currently staffing the Baton Rouge office, and Doherty says he expects that number to grow to 20. GCR currently employs a total of 130 professionals in its various offices. Its client base includes those in the fields of aviation; elections; federal, state and municipal government; law enforcement; nuclear power; real estate; and law.
