“Kathi provided Senior Human Resources leadership to Orqis Medical for over six years. Her effectiveness is immediate, her contributions substantial, and her ability to integrate into the employee base as a consultant outstanding. I highly recommend Kathi to any company looking for senior management help in the HR arena, without the ability to hire a full-time manager. This is a go-to person for any small, medium, or start-up company.”

Kathi has made key contributions in identifying and implementing strategic ‘culture-changing’ programs, enabling the organization to move closer to our vision of ‘Executing as Champions.”
Paula Rutledge
Legacy MedSearch, President
“Kathi works as an HR strategic partner for small to mid-size companies to help them quickly find talent for mission-critical projects. In working with her, we found her to truly understand talent search from the client side as well as the process side. Her project management skills and knowledge of client need are remarkable: She is both direct and deliberate in how she communicates--and has a sense of humor, to boot! Any company looking for ‘smart’ and ‘get it done’ from an HR professional should absolutely look no further than Kathi.”
Allison Bowman
WorkCare, Inc.ation, HR Manager
“Besides her wealth of knowledge in Human Resources, Kathi provided me with great mentoring in all aspects of HR. She was a great sounding board to bounce ideas off of in dealing with all types of employee-relations issues. Kathi is someone you can go to with anything and she will make sure to find a solution. Kathi is very reliable and always delivers high quality work.”
David Brookmire

“I needed an HR expert on the west coast to help me with a project and called Kathi. She was able to quickly respond to the request, perform the required services, and report on the results. In addition, the client executive requested she help implement the recommendations and was extremely pleased with Kathi's work. I highly recommend Kathi for HR consulting assignments.”
