CEO & FOUNDER

Our company was established based upon a pure passion for the continued success of global businesses.  As an executive attending national symposiums and seminars, I was shocked by the number of employers who lacked the resources necessary to protect their business and their primary asset - their people. 

My colleagues and I had numerous conversations about how we could make a difference for all categories of employers and employees.  It was from those conversations of concern and ardor that we elected to form PDL HRO Practice, LLC.. 

As a guild, we will keep improving our quality, broadening our capabilities, enhancing our efficiency, and raising the exceptional level of customer service we offer to further elevate the standard of excellence we have established in the industry.
