I help founders and small-business owners work through the people decisions they don’t want to make alone: a first hire, a manager who isn’t working out, an employee complaint, a termination, a handbook that needed to exist last month.

I’ve spent more than 25 years in HR, including as Chief People Officer at SKOUT Cybersecurity, and in 2016 I started Peale Piper because small businesses and nonprofits need experienced HR support, too.

On a call, I’ll ask what’s going on before I offer an opinion. Then I’ll tell you what I think, back it up with what I know, and help you make a decision you can stand behind.

If you need ongoing help after the call, you’ll find me at pealepiper.com.
