About Tara

A people strategist who has done the hard part

I’m a cross-industry HR executive and fractional CHRO with SRV HR, based in Dallas, Texas. I partner with CEOs, boards, and leadership teams who believe their people are their greatest competitive advantage and want a proven strategist to help them act on it.

I understand businesses as a whole, not just HR. I partner with leaders to connect people, processes, and strategy, creating practical solutions that strengthen organizations and drive meaningful results.

Over 20 years in HR, I’ve led people strategy in industries from commercial landscaping to pharma to financial services, including two landmark acquisitions: United Capital Financial Advisers into Goldman Sachs, and SageView Advisory Group into Creative Planning. I help leaders work through complex people challenges with clarity, empathy, and business acumen.

Through PartnHR Strategies, powered by SRV HR, my team and I work alongside executive teams to build scalable people strategies, develop strong leaders, and create cultures that support growth and performance. Whether you’re in the middle of a transformation or improving the everyday employee experience, I focus on practical solutions that deliver measurable results.

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.

Talent Acquisition & Retention Strategy

Finding and keeping the talent that drives business results, even in competitive markets.

Business Partner Models & Performance Management

Does your business struggle with…

The challenges that quietly cap your growth

Attracting and retaining the right people?

The talent who can actually drive your business results, and the systems to keep them.

People processes that don't run efficiently?

Hiring, onboarding, performance, and pay that should run like clockwork, but don’t.

A culture that's undefined, or dividing the team?

Misalignment and disorder that quietly erode engagement and profit.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Businesses of every size face them, and I’m ready to help you overcome them.
