HR Consultant | Business Research, Strategy & Organizational Change

I provide practical HR consulting, fractional People leadership, organizational support, and business research for organizations that need experienced help without hiring a full-time senior leader. With more than 20 years of international People and HR leadership experience, I can step into everyday HR work, lead a defined strategic project, or investigate a complex business or workforce question and turn it into a clear, usable result. HR and People support: • Fractional and interim HR leadership • HR policies, processes, and documentation • Employee handbooks and manager guidance • Performance-management processes • Job descriptions, role clarity, and organizational structure • Employee experience and engagement • Manager coaching and practical employee-relations support • Onboarding and learning programs • Leadership and manager-development materials • HR technology evaluation and implementation support • People-function design and improvement Strategic and organizational work: • People and workforce strategy • Organizational design and effectiveness • Workforce diagnostics and planning • Change management and organizational readiness • Leadership alignment and facilitated working sessions • Remote, hybrid, and flexible-work strategy • Psychological safety and leadership capability • People implications of AI adoption • International and multi-state People support Research, writing, and evaluation: • Business and workplace research • Qualitative interviews and evidence synthesis • Executive briefings, reports, and presentations • Expert review of HR, leadership, learning, and workplace content • Research-backed frameworks and learning materials • Complex information translated into practical recommendations My experience spans Fortune 1, multinational, and high-growth organizations across the United States, United Kingdom, Middle East, and global settings. I have supported approximately 2,500 associates at Walmart; built and scaled a People function as an organization grew from approximately 35 to 350–400 total workers; led a 12-person global People team; supported international expansion across ten markets; and built a Learning & Development function from the ground up. I have also designed and facilitated leadership learning, contributed practitioner teaching in higher education, spoken at a SHRM conference, and co-hosted and produced more than 80 podcast episodes. I bring senior judgment without unnecessary complexity. Whether you need a dependable HR consultant, an experienced partner for a defined organizational project, or a rigorous researcher and writer, I will help you move from an unclear problem to practical action. Available for defined projects, ongoing part-time support, fractional engagements, research assignments, expert review, and facilitation.
