Jennifer Shannon, SPHR — CEO

I build HR functions that actually scale with the business. And I'd love to tell you more... ⬇️ I’m a Human Resources executive with 20+ years of experience leading enterprise HR strategy across healthcare, manufacturing, and private equity-backed organizations. My work sits at the intersection of growth and structure, helping companies scale fast without breaking their people systems. Over the course of my career, I’ve: ☑️ Scaled organizations from ~100 to 1,450+ employees across multi-state and remote environments. ☑️ Reduced voluntary turnover from 41% to 31% through compensation and engagement strategy. ☑️ Led HR integration for 6 acquisitions. ☑️ Reduced time-to-fill from ~60 days to ~40 days during periods of high volume hiring. ☑️ Designed and executed enterprise HRIS implementation (2023), improving reporting accuracy and workflow automation. ☑️ Built leadership development programs across multiple business units (2012, 2017.) ☑️ Improved employee engagement through survey programs with ~85% participation and measurable YoY gains. I’ve partnered closely with Boards, executive teams, and private equity stakeholders to align people strategy with business outcomes, whether that means scaling headcount, stabilizing retention, or preparing organizations for growth and transition. Outside of the metrics, I care deeply about building environments where leaders are equipped, teams are supported, and growth is sustainable, not reactive. If you’re building, scaling, or transforming an organization and need HR leadership that can keep pace, let’s connect. 🤝
