Our Leadership
Debra Hope, PHR | SHRM-CP Founder & CEO
If you want someone to think about human resources so you don't have to, let's work together.
You're a business owner who wants to do the right thing to build your business on a solid foundation. You also want help with managing the complex world of human resources.
Your goals are...
- An HR Business Partner who will work behind the scenes for you so you can focus on your business.
- A specialist who understands your business culture and works hard to preserve it.
- An HR manager for you and your employees who offers an on-going safety net of support so you don't have to do HR alone.
HR can be complicated and my goal is to focus on balance and simplification for you. With over 20 years of hands-on HR leadership roles, I've worked with a number of successful business. I excel at practical problem-solving, developing creative solutions, and being your trusted HR Business Partner.
As a professional certified in HR (PHR, SHRM-CP), you can be confident that you have an expert endorsed by professional associations that set the standard for HR rigor, excellence and expertise.
HR is what I do. Who I am can be defined simply as being a Midwest girl who was raised by parents who wanted a better education for their daughters than they themselves had been afforded. Taught to embrace challenges, exceed your own and other's expectations, and love and serve well. I have an ongoing love-hate thing with running, having completed over 10 marathons and 16 half-marathons. My husband Tim and I happily made Raleigh, NC our home in 2016. My son, Zach, is a former Division I student-athlete, now coaching and continuing his education and really best of who I am. Our newest addition is Kate, a lab-rottie rescue mix who keeps us young.
