ALISHA HANSON

C0-Founder & Managing Director

Alisha originally went to college for accounting and quicky realized that wasn’t a fit. Her dad recommended HR and the rest was history. Outside of work, she loves to be near water or spending time with her puppy Carlos or her family!
After years of HR experience, her passions have been narrowed down to leading people, developing employees, and consulting with organizations. She enjoys finding solutions to challenges leaders are facing and providing specialized recommendations that fit the needs of their organization and its employees.

Brittany Williams

Payroll and HR Consultant

Brittany’s entrance into the field of Human Resources is what she’d call a bit of a happy accident! It started 15+ years ago when she filled a short-term maternity leave position in HR. It quickly became her career of choice after falling in love with helping personnel and finding solutions in a fast-paced environment.

Since then, Brittany has worked as a Human Resources Generalist, fulfilling various responsibilities, including HRIS management, payroll, benefits, and onboarding. Her business management degree, problem-solving niche, attention to detail, and unique creativity provide a stellar combination of savvy skills to support and organize your business. She’s also described as personable, kind, and friendly, so there’s that, too!

Outside of work, you can find Brittany creating pretty things, relaxing on a paddle board, or playing a game of tennis.
