Employee engagement survey participation

I built a high-trust culture that reached 91% participation in the employee engagement survey and raised satisfaction scores four years in a row, a leading indicator of retention and performance.
5x

Organizational expansions supported

I supported five times organizational growth by bringing talent acquisition in-house, which ended our reliance on costly external agencies.

About Rickie

I scale the people function, not just the headcount

I’m an HR executive who builds and scales people functions inside high-growth, mission-driven organizations. I partner directly with CEOs and senior leadership teams to work through operational ambiguity and turn big-picture business goals into talent strategies that hold up as the company grows.
Executive gravitas is only worth something when it shows up in measurable operational performance.
Before founding Breo People Partners, I served as Vice President of Human Resources at Navvis Healthcare, reporting to the CEO and COO and leading enterprise HR strategy through major organizational change. I built the Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partner, and Talent Development teams from the ground up, guided multi-entity integrations, and designed enterprise leadership academies.
I’m a player-coach. I pair deep fluency in modern HRIS and payroll architecture with hands-on execution, so growing businesses get both the tactical delivery and the strategic oversight they need to scale safely and efficiently.
Ready for your business to thrive?

Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.

You already know your people drive your results. You just don’t have the time, or the in-house expertise, to build the systems that get the most from them. That’s where I come in. As your fractional CHRO, I install proven talent strategy and HR systems that are repeatable, scalable, and built for your business.
