Kari Hill, SHRM-CP, PMP

I help companies become places where people want to come to work. I have worked for some of the best companies in the world with the greatest missions, but the staff have felt burnt out and underappreciated. After a devastating event, I realized it is not just the leadership that defines culture. It is the right mix of people with the right skill sets being engaged, supported, developed, and inspired. I want to use my extensive skill set in leadership, project managing, and culture building to help companies shape their culture to get the best out of their employees.
