Sagence Group LLC, a fast-growing data analytics firm, is setting up its headquarters in Chicago, where it plans to expand to 245 employees within three years.
Sagence, which employs 60 people now, briefly had an office in Rosemont when it was created in 2009 but has since operated virtually, said Marisela Lawson, a Sagence founder and principal. In recent years, Sagence has rented office space by the day or month in Chicago and New York for important meetings but has had no permanent office home.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday that Sagence Group signed a lease at 525 W. Monroe St. in the West Loop.
