DALLAS, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Okorio, a premier Workday partner specializing in streamlined, scalable enterprise solutions, is excited to announce two powerhouse additions to its leadership team: Lawrie Henry as Vice President of Workday Delivery and Hifzur Meerapatel as Head of Data Services. 

With over a decade at Workday, Lawrie Henry is best known for architecting the Launch Express methodology—a breakthrough approach that significantly reduced implementation time and cost for small and mid-sized businesses. Under his leadership, Launch Express became the go-to model for nearly half of all Workday Medium Enterprise deployments. 

“Building a practice that opened up Workday as a real option to small and medium-sized businesses was a career highlight for me,” said Lawrie. “The opportunity to do it again with Okorio—at a time when demand for smarter, faster deployments is skyrocketing—was too exciting to pass up.” 

Joining Lawrie is Hifzur Meerapatel, a recognized leader in Workday data conversion and transformation. With 20+ years of enterprise HCM expertise—including 9 in the Workday ecosystem—Hifzur has led over 50 successful deployments. He brings deep experience in data mapping, tooling design, automation, and real-time data load orchestration, all of which help customers achieve faster, cleaner go-lives. 

“Data is at the heart of every successful Workday deployment,” said Hifzur. “At Okorio, we’re building a best-in-class data services practice that removes friction, minimizes risk, and ensures our customers hit the ground running on day one.” 

Together, Lawrie and Hifzur bring a powerful combination of implementation expertise, operational strategy, and technical innovation. Their appointments mark a major milestone in Okorio’s mission to provide enterprise-grade Workday solutions with speed, efficiency, and precision. 

“At Okorio, we believe every business—from high-growth startups to complex mid-market organizations—deserves a better Workday experience,” said Justin Williams, CRO. “With Lawrie and Hifzur leading our Delivery and Data practices, we’re helping our customers achieve more value from Workday, faster.”
