Tara Egan
People are the ultimate competitive advantage. I help leaders align purpose, talent, and strategy, so people thrive and the business grows.
Strategy that shows up in the numbers
Tara connects people strategy to measurable business results. Two engagements that define how she works:
Led HR through two landmark acquisitions, United Capital Financial Advisers’ integration into Goldman Sachs, and SageView Advisory Group’s integration into Creative Planning. Aligned compensation, benefits, and culture across each newly combined organization.
Twenty years of HR leadership across industries as varied as commercial landscaping, pharma, and financial services — the last decade spent leading HR teams and building talent strategy from the ground up.
A people strategist who has done the hard part
Tara Egan, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, is a cross-industry HR executive and SRVHR fractional CHRO based in Dallas, Texas. She partners with CEOs, boards, and leadership teams who believe their people are their greatest competitive advantage — and want a proven strategist to prove 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.
In her 20 years as an HR professional, Tara has led people strategy across a wide range of industries — from commercial landscaping to pharma to financial services. She has closed two landmark acquisitions: United Capital Financial Advisers’ integration into Goldman Sachs, and SageView Advisory Group’s integration into Creative Planning.
Because her background bridges HR and manufacturing operations, Tara naturally connects people strategy to business impact — whether she is building an HR function from the ground up, scaling global teams across the U.S. and India, or elevating the everyday employee experience.
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.
