HR Path acquires U.S.-based Lumi for global workday expansion
PARIS, FRANCE, and UTAH, UNITED STATES — Global HR consulting and technology firm HR Path has acquired Lumi, a United States-based consultancy specializing in Workday integrations.
The strategic move significantly strengthens HR Path’s delivery capabilities in the American market and deepens its expertise within the Workday ecosystem.
Marie-Soleil Boucher, Partner at HR Path, notes, “We are delighted to welcome the Lumi team, whose integration enhances our Workday capabilities in North America and further reinforces our presence in the region.”
Expanding U.S. footprint and Workday integration expertise
This move builds upon the company’s previous acquisition of Next Generation Inc. (NGI), demonstrating a consistent pattern of investment aimed at expanding its delivery capabilities and physical presence across the U.S.
It can also be recalled that HR Path first expanded its Asia-Pacific footprint by acquiring India’s Blueprint HR to deepen its SAP SuccessFactors and UKG capabilities, before merging with U.S.-based Enforce to dominate the North American Dayforce market.
On the other hand, Lumi brings a highly focused and reputable practice to the HR Path group. The company was founded by Chase Zollinger and Matt Dobbs in 2017.

Operational continuity for Lumi’s Workday clients
HR Path has structured the deal to prioritize operational stability for Lumi’s existing clientele. The acquired company will continue to operate under its established brand identity, now branded as “Lumi, an HR Path Company.”

Retaining the existing workforce guarantees that the consultancy’s philosophy of client advocacy and deep technical expertise in Workday integrations will be maintained as HR Path scales its U.S. presence.
Matt Dobbs, Co-Founder of Lumi, notes, “Our customers will benefit from the global scale we’ve always aimed to provide, and our consultants will gain immediate access to exciting career-growth opportunities.”
