Rickie Boado
Your people drive your results. I build the talent strategy and HR systems that turn that potential into measurable growth.
Strategy that shows up in the numbers
Rickie connects people strategy to measurable business results. Two engagements that define how he works:
Increased retention 15% at Navvis Healthcare through a strategic mentorship and wellness program, keeping critical talent engaged through a period of rapid organizational change.
Redesigned workforce structures at Navvis Healthcare to retain 100% of critical talent through an 85% departmental downsizing, preserving institutional knowledge when it mattered most.
An HR executive who builds people functions from the ground up
Rickie Boado is an HR executive and the founder of Breo People Partners, LLC, a SRV HR people-strategy advisory based in Poquoson, Virginia. He specializes in building and scaling people functions inside high-growth, mission-driven organizations, partnering directly with CEOs and senior leadership teams to turn high-level business goals into scalable talent strategies.
Executive gravitas paired with measurable operational performance is what turns HR from a cost center into a growth engine.
Before launching Breo People Partners, Rickie served as Vice President of Human Resources for Navvis Healthcare, reporting directly to the CEO and COO. He led enterprise HR strategy through major organizational shifts, building the company's Talent Acquisition, HR Business Partner, and Talent Development teams from the ground up. Over his career, he has helped the organization scale through five separate periods of rapid growth, directly onboarding new employees while eliminating the company's reliance on costly external staffing agencies.
Rickie has steered companies through complex multi-entity integrations, designed enterprise leadership academies, and built high-trust corporate cultures, including a 91% employee engagement survey participation rate. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Missouri State University and brings deep technical fluency across modern HRIS and payroll architecture, giving growing businesses both the tactical execution and strategic oversight they need to scale safely.
Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.
