Rickie Boado
Your people goals shouldn't get stuck in the gap between strategy and execution. I turn high-level business goals into scalable talent strategies that grow with you.
Strategy that shows up in the numbers
Rickie connects people strategy to measurable business results. Two engagements that define how he works:
Built high-trust corporate cultures, including a 91% employee engagement survey participation rate, while increasing satisfaction scores for 4 straight years — a leading indicator of retention and performance.
Supported 5x organizational growth and the onboarding of new teams while building talent acquisition in-house and completely eliminating reliance on costly external agencies.
A people operator who scales the function, not just the headcount
Rickie Boado is an HR executive who specializes in building and scaling people functions inside high-growth, mission-driven organizations. He partners directly with CEOs and senior leadership teams to navigate operational ambiguity and translate big-picture business goals into talent strategies that actually hold up as the company grows.
Executive gravitas is only worth something when it shows up in measurable operational performance.
Before launching Breo People Partners, Rickie served as Vice President of Human Resources at Navvis Healthcare, reporting directly to the CEO/COO and leading enterprise HR strategy through major organizational change. He built the Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partner, and Talent Development teams from the ground up, steered companies through complex multi-entity integrations, and designed enterprise leadership academies.
A dedicated operator and player-coach, Rickie pairs deep technical fluency across modern HRIS and payroll architecture with hands-on execution. He gives growing businesses both the tactical delivery and the strategic oversight they need to scale safely and efficiently.
Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.

As your fractional CHRO, I install proven talent strategy and HR systems that are repeatable, scalable, and built for your business.
