Your people issues don't wait but hiring a full-time HR team isn't always the answer. KDB Associates steps in as your dedicated HR partner, solving the day-to-day challenges that slow your business down and building the structure that helps your team thrive.
People are at the heart of every business decision and for over 15 years, that belief has driven everything I do as an HR leader. I founded KDB Associates, Inc. out of a simple conviction: smaller companies deserve access to the same caliber of HR partnership that has historically been reserved for large enterprises.
I bring deep, progressive HR experience across industries including healthcare, maritime, transportation and warehousing, executive relocation, and interiors integration. Most recently serving as Director of HR for over a decade at an interiors integrator, I have operated as a true HR Business Partner, providing shared services across organizations ranging from 250 to 1,500 employees, spanning multiple U.S. states and international operations.
I am a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR) through HRCI, a credential that reflects my commitment to the highest standards of HR practice. I get energized by the human side of business, solving the challenges that slow teams down, building cultures where people genuinely want to show up, and creating the kind of clarity and structure that lets both people and organizations thrive.
I bring hands-on experience with the platforms your business already uses, so there is no learning curve and no downtime getting up to speed.
Not seeing your platform? I adapt quickly to new systems and am comfortable learning the tools your business relies on.
Small and mid-size businesses often reach a point where HR can't be an afterthought but a full-time hire isn't yet the right fit. KDB Associates bridges that gap, embedding into your organization as a trusted, part-time HR partner who knows your people, your culture, and your goals.
Building the HR foundation from the ground up policies, onboarding, compliance, and culture so you can scale with confidence.
Outgrown the spreadsheet era but not yet ready for a full HR team. We step in as your dedicated HR manager without the full-time cost.

Remote, hybrid, in-person we meet you where your business operates and adapt to the tools and systems you already use.
