Good day !
I’m Tara.
I help businesses and HR unlock Momentum and Velocity within their HR strategies, operations, and capabilities.
I love designing, building, elevating, and empowering. Whether that’s elevating the HR function, building high performance HR leaders, or strategy work, I am committed to creating the best experiences and work environments where everyone thrives.
That’s where the business wins, people win, and competitive advantage is achieved.
In the last 20+ years, I have …
But you know when it’s time to do something more …
… to use your experience, skills, and passion to better serve others. For me, that is serving businesses and HR professionals in a new way. In a way that aligns with me personally and using the strengths that have achieved success for me professionally. Helping others create greatness within themselves.
In thinking about some of the biggest challenges in the realm of HR, it was clear. Friction between HR and the business. Inability to be nimble. Ineffective execution. Reactive not proactive. Strategic capabilities are not there or not visible. Lack of alignment with the business.
I’ve heard it, lived it, felt it. And when you’re in the work, it’s often hard to see the path to addressing these challenges. It feels overwhelming. The bandwidth isn’t there. The how seems impossible.
And that’s why MoVelo HR was born.
To help overcome these challenges. To come alongside you in this work.
To ensure you win.
