Irene Koehler’s Summary
Experienced professional with over twenty years in the Human Resources field, the majority of which was with the responsibility for leading the entire HR function. This experience has uniquely prepared me to apply the learning from the corporate world to small to mid-sized businesses today. Having been on the "inside" for many years, I truly understand the competing challenges facing today's business leaders.
As a consultant, it is always a privilege to lend my skills and expertise to organizations desiring to enhance their current organizational design, improve a difficult or problematic situation or build an HR function from the ground up. I am always willing to answer questions or make recommendations about possible solutions or next steps.
