ABOUT KELLY BUCKLEY

Hi. I’m Kelly. I’m a human resources executive, former COO, and competitive triathlete.WHAT I AM KNOWN FOR:Leaders come to me when they are navigating complex, nuanced transitions and need a trusted partner to guide them through massive change and growth.WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE:As a former COO, I offer a blend of human resources and operations experience. My background in operations and robust HR experience equips me with the ability to not only speak their language but also to identify and address their blind spots.My deep operations expertise has proven invaluable as an HR business partner and trusted advisor to managers, senior leaders, and the C-Suite. I am meticulous when it comes to aligning people strategies with business objectives, helping you expertly align your people strategy with your business needs — not just for today, but for the future. Plus, my training as a certified crisis counselor allows me to navigate crucial conversations with empathy and compassion. Colleagues describe me as calm yet methodical.WHAT REFUELS ME:When not designing and executing enterprise-wide people strategies to support massive change and growth, you will find my running (I’m a three-time Ford Ironman finisher) and working on my next remodeling project (24 houses remodeled and counting). I’m also a proud foster parent.
