About Jacquelyn Lloyd
I work with CEOs of privately owned food and beverage businesses (15-250 employees) on the people decisions that are complicated but need to be handled.Your 25-year employee is phoning it in (and he went to college with your co-founder). Succession planning when the investors have opinions about who\'s ready. An executive who\'s great with customers but terrible with their team - and happens to be someone\'s brother-in-law. That workplace situation that\'s gone on too long because of the relationships involved.After 25+ years in HR and labor relations - including work as a union negotiator and court-appointed mediator - I\'ve seen most of these situations before. Which means we can usually find a path forward.Why food and beverage:Beer, wine, snacks, specialty foods - this is my world. Whether you\'re producing, manufacturing, distributing, or brokering, I understand how your part of the ecosystem operates. I know the margin pressures, the regulatory maze, the seasonal chaos, and the relationship dynamics that make privately owned businesses both rewarding and complicated.My approach:We figure out what makes sense for your business and your situation, not what the textbook says. I don\'t prescribe frameworks. I help you think through your specific situation with someone who\'s been there. No judgment. Just practical next steps.I work best with: Privately owned food and beverage businesses (15-250 employees) Companies at inflection points - growth, transition, or transformation Leaders who need someone outside the relationships to help them see clearlyMy clients come through referrals from accountants, attorneys, and business owners who appreciate working with someone who understands that these decisions aren\'t just business - they\'re personal too.If you\'re looking for a strategic HR partnership that doesn\'t make things more complicated, let\'s talk.
