Meet the Nextep team

Brian Fayak
Brian Fayak
Founder, President, and CEO

Brian Fayak founded Nextep with the excitement only a true entrepreneur can possess. He left a career working for a publicly-traded company to start a one-person operation offering HR services to small businesses.

Since those modest beginnings, Nextep has grown into the industry’s premier professional employer organization with clients coast-to-coast. And the reason is no secret: Nextep knows how to grow business.

“I'm committed to making Nextep a great place to work by creating a culture where people look forward to Monday mornings. They celebrate each other's successes and elevate and enrich clients.”
