About Michele Knight
I\'m a business-first HR executive with a passion for building scalable, high-performing organizations through people and culture. My career began in entrepreneurship—leading a consulting firm where I coached executives and advised organizations through growth, change, and transformation. That experience shaped how I think: strategically, holistically, and always with the business in mind.Today, I bring that same founder’s mindset to HR leadership in complex, high-growth environments. I have led the talent and learning strategy during a period of rapid workforce expansion—reducing new hire turnover by 50%, improving our employer brand, and scaling operations without increasing headcount. I specialize in driving performance through leadership development, culture change, and smart HR technology adoption.What sets me apart is my ability to connect business goals with people strategy—whether that means coaching leaders, transforming organizational culture, or aligning teams around strategic priorities.Key strengths include:• Organizational transformation & scale• Talent & leadership strategy• Coaching cultures & change leadership• HR technology enablement• Brand and employee experienceI thrive in roles where people strategy is a growth driver—and where agility, innovation, and execution all matter. Let\'s connect if you\'re building or evolving a culture that performs.
