About

Seth Morales

There’s no stopping Seth Morales as he blazes the trail to grow a business built on listening and solving the critical issues of business leaders. As the President and CEO, he sees Morales Group as an incubator for talent. This people-driven all star continues standing up for the less fortunate in helping build homes for those in need via the Home of Hope program in Mexico and sits on St. Vincent’s Health System Board of Directors. When he’s not reliving his game-winning touchdown catch from Drew Brees to beat Ohio State, Seth can be found hiking, playing a game of football with his kids, or hanging out by the fire pit in the back yard.

Tom Morales

As a child, Tom Morales aspired to be an engineer, not forseeing he would start a company that would make such an impactful difference in people’s lives. Morales Group’s co-founder saw an opportunity to serve individuals who needed consistent and reliable work and wanted to build a bridge between the Indianapolis business community and the Hispanic population. Tom continues to invest in others by serving on the boards of Elevate Indy, Project Azul, YWAM, and IU Cancer Center Development Board and lecturing all over the country on immigration issues. When he’s not serving, you’ll find him enjoying time with his wife and five children or on the golf course.

Jackie Morales

As the Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer, Jackie Morales’s passion drives her work in overseeing marketing, IT, human resources, and the partnership with the Project Azul foundation to ensure her team helps people find incredible jobs to best take care of their families. Jackie places the highest value on finding talent and lifting people up. Her intense passion for connecting people to better opportunities carries over to her mentorship of Latinx high school students via Project Stepping Stone. Her resourcefulness has earned her renown as an Indianapolis Journal’s Forty under 40, as well as Latina Business Woman of the Year at the Indiana Latino Expo. When she’s not hard at work in the office, she’s busy researching her next festival or hiking spot to explore with her family.

With a unique pathway through the industry due to his lifetime proximity to the family business, Luke learned his line of work from the ground up. By embracing his roots and doubling down on his experience by earning his MBA, Luke’s journey fits him as an energetic leader to shape Enterprise-Level Strategies for Morales Group’s future. When he’s not coordinating our team to achieve a common goal, Luke is an avid reader of history, a passionate volunteer for Kentucky Refugee Ministries' food drive, a world traveler alongside his wife Cali, and a devoted dog dad to their 13-year old German Sheppard/Boxer mix Peyton.

She brings 20+ years of leading and developing teams and customer service.  Monique enjoys empowering and skilling up her teammates through coaching. Born to parents who immigrated from the Netherlands to Canada, Monique was born in Porthope, immigrated to U.S. at the age of 4 and moved to Mexico at the age of 7.  She speaks three languages. In addition to her professional role, Monique is an artist and paints as often as she can while also enjoying biking and hiking (especially in the West). One of her aspirations is to share the joy of painting with underserved children to allow children to express themselves.

Our VP of Acción Operations knows this place from the ground up. Indianapolis native Rick dedicates himself every day to developing our team to succeed while adding value to the growth of the company.

A Hoosier born and bred, Daniel brings nearly two decades of industry experience to his role as VP of Staffing Operations. He propels the personal and professional growth of our teams, driven by his fulfillment in seeing the real time evolution of our people. Daniel’s trademark curiosity shows us the business questions we need to be asking, while also making our teammates feel seen and heard. When he’s not turning an inquisitive eye toward our processes and relationships, Daniel is a true Renaissance man. He enjoys tinkering with new recipes, playing a hand of euchre, hanging out with family, and learning new riffs on the piano.

Kim Raiford

As our VP of Business Development, Kim finds her drive in making connections, whether it’s people-to-people, people-to-business, or business-to-solution. Connecting the ends of a circle gives her great satisfaction, especially when it leads to better careers for the communities we serve or solutions for our clients. Kim brings 22 years of industry experience to our team (over a decade of those at Morales Group!) and is essentially an endurance athlete when it comes to getting things done. When she’s not challenging us to think outside the box, Kim can be found at her daughters’ volleyball tournaments, staying active in nature or at the gym, or polishing her hostess skills at home while enjoying good company.
