Denise Ashford comes to Granite with over twenty years in employee benefits insurance experience.  Denise specializes in the integration of technology, compliance within Human Resources, benefits strategy and focuses on firms with 10 to 500 employees.  Joining the Employee Benefits Team, Denise will help revolutionize the way employers and employees choose their benefits with Granite Health Pro software solution ([http://www.granitehealthpro.com](http://www.granitehealthpro.com/)) powered by Maxwell Health.  Denise will continue her success, by rolling her unique technology and HR expertise into her consultant-based platform, along with her innovative ideas that greatly set her apart from the competition.   “I am very excited to join the Granite team.
