McGuire, Regina
Regina McGuire is a co-founder and partner at Continuiti National Interim HR Staffing and Continuiti HR Direct, a unique “super-niche” professional staffing firm in Roseland, New Jersey founded on a “winwin” mentality for experienced human resource professionals seeking consulting assignments or permanent positions. A native of New Jersey, McGuire earned a bachelor’s degree cum laude from Boston College, and a JD from Seton Hall University. Her firm was named by one of the Top 500 owned women’s businesses in the U.S. McGuire’s paternal grandparents came from counties Mayo and Kilkenny, and she has visited Ireland twice. “It is difficult for me to write anything that could adequately express my pride and emotion about my Irish heritage,” says McGuire, who fondly remembers her grandparents as a strong presence during her formative years. “Stories from the old country and from that time abound — they protected each other, sheltered each other and defended each other. They valued family, the church and also possessed a tremendous joie de vivre — engaging in ever present banter, story telling, reciting poetry, playing the concertina and other musical instruments, dancing and singing Irish songs,” recalls McGuire. “The greatest generation has now sadly passed, but our extended families of cousins, on both sides of the Atlantic, have remained united because of the strength of the relationships forged by the patriarchs and matriarchs of our families, as well as our common desire to maintain our proud ties to our Irish heritage.”
