people + culture partners

Founded in 2016, we began as a bold executive coaching practice built to challenge conventional leadership and push leaders beyond the usual playbook and into the reality of modern work. As our clients and their organizations confronted growing complexity and an ever-changing workforce our role expanded. We became a go-to advisory partner on many topics from organizational design to crisis leadership—meeting every moment with agility and deep expertise. We have evolved but remain a boutique consultancy helping shape the future of work through a focus on people + culture. We partner and advise with a “people-first” philosophy while helping drive organizational wellness, resilience, and performance. Rooted in the belief that thriving people power thriving organizations.

At TKG, our team is a collective of high-impact thinkers and doers—seasoned subject matter experts and functional leaders who’ve shaped people strategies at Fortune 500 powerhouses and fast-moving, culture-driven startups alike. We live by our own mantra: right person, right job, right time. Every engagement is intentionally staffed to align with your organization’s DNA—no templates, no copy-paste consulting.

Our people aren’t just experienced—they’re deeply curious, relentlessly passionate, and laser-focused on designing solutions as unique as your brand and culture. We’ve built a team culture around humility over hype, which is why you won’t find ego-driven bios or resume-heavy spotlights here. We’d rather let our work speak for itself—and let you experience the magic of our team in real time, through meaningful conversations and measurable outcomes.

TKG’s ASA service model offers small to mid-sized companies the accessibility and expertise of a fully staffed HR department—without the overhead. Whether you need onsite support, virtual guidance, or a combination of both, we customize a service package that fits your organization’s unique structure and goals.

Many of our clients choose a hybrid model, where TKG partners with an internal employee to provide hands-on HR support, mentorship, and strategic development. This collaborative approach not only strengthens internal capabilities but also helps scale HR functions in alignment with company growth.

ASA provides the experience, flexibility, and strategic partnership today’s growing companies need to thrive.

We partner with companies navigating transformation, hypergrowth, and purposeful scaling to design organizations that grow responsibly and sustainably. Our Organizational Design + Development (OD+D) advisory services provide data-driven modeling to ensure your structure evolves in step with your business.

We create aspirational org designs that map out when key roles and structures become viable based on growth milestones and industry-specific benchmarks. Through comprehensive talent assessments and predictive analyses, we help you identify skill gaps, evaluate promotion readiness, and align leadership capabilities with future needs.

These insights power your learning and development strategy, guide external talent planning, and position your organization for long-term success. Let TKG help you design the next evolution of your organization. 

HR Expertise in times of change. When your organization is navigating transition—whether due to growth, restructuring, or leadership turnover—our seasoned HR leaders step in to provide stability, continuity, and trusted guidance.

Our interim HR professionals bring deep experience across all facets of HR, enabling them to make timely, informed decisions that keep your organization moving forward while minimizing risk. They empower your existing team, support leadership with actionable insights, and ensure HR operations continue to run smoothly.

We also partner with you to refine your HR and hiring strategy, helping you identify, assess, and onboard your next HR or People leader with confidence.

When sensitive workplace issues arise, an experienced outside investigator brings the neutrality and professionalism needed to uncover the full story. 

Employers have a legal duty to investigate misconduct, and the EEOC requires that these investigations be prompt, thorough, and impartial. Utilizing our expertise ensures your team receives the neutrality and experience needed to conduct an investigation that is unbiased and defensible in court.

Workplace investigations often surface unexpectedly and demand immediate focus. For internal leaders, managing an investigation can quickly divert attention from their long-term responsibilities, like maintaining trust, engagement, and performance across the organization.

Partnering with an objective, specialized investigator provides the distance and expertise your organization needs. It allows your leaders to stay focused on sustaining morale and culture while ensuring the investigation is handled thoroughly, fairly, and in alignment with your values.

TKG is empowering organizations to elevate their HR capabilities with smart, strategic AI solutions—crafting customized AI4HR roadmaps that seamlessly integrate with each client’s technology ecosystem, honor their unique culture, and accelerate results with precision and purpose.

We have successfully partnered with clients to design and implement human-centered AI strategies that enhance every stage of the employee experience—from talent acquisition and onboarding to engagement, performance, learning, and retention. We guide organizations through the full lifecycle of AI adoption, helping them move from fear to curiosity to clarity to confident strategy and execution.

TKG’s approach blends deep expertise in HR strategy, change management, and data ethics with an understanding of emerging AI technologies. We help our clients identify the highest-impact use cases, assess readiness, establish governance frameworks, and build internal capability to ensure that AI is used responsibly and sustainably.

Whether developing predictive workforce analytics, automating routine HR operations, or creating personalized employee experiences powered by intelligent insights, TKG ensures that every AI initiative aligns with organizational values and drives measurable business outcomes.

At the heart of our work is a belief that AI should amplify human potential—not replace it—enabling clients to focus on what matters most: cultivating thriving, inclusive, and future-ready workplaces.

An HR Operations Review provides an in-depth look at your organization’s HR, compliance, and safety practices—helping you identify gaps, reduce risk, and strengthen overall operational integrity.

We take a proactive, preventative approach—designed to uncover potential issues before they become liabilities. Beyond compliance, the reviews demonstrate transparency and goodwill, reinforcing your organization’s commitment to responsible people practices.

We evaluate key areas including:

• Industry standards and benchmarks
• Total Compensation Assessment 
• Exposure and risk assessment
• Payroll practices
• Performance Management processes
• HR and legal compliance
• Employee file documentation
• Workers’ compensation
• Leave of absence administration
• FMLA and ADA compliance
• Health benefits and COBRA
• Workplace health and safety
• AI Adaptability and Readiness 

By identifying areas of risk and opportunity, we help your organization operate with confidence, accountability, and long-term sustainability.

In 2017, TKG was called upon by a nationally recognized brand facing an internal employment issue that escalated into a full-scale media crisis overnight. What began as a sensitive internal matter quickly became a public firestorm. Within hours, headlines were spreading, employee morale was at risk, and the organization’s reputation hung in the balance.

That’s when TKG stepped in.

Our team immediately deployed a dual communications strategy—externally, to protect the organization’s brand integrity and maintain public trust; and internally, to stabilize morale and empower leadership to communicate with authenticity and clarity. The result? The narrative shifted. The organization regained control of its message, and employees moved forward with little to no lasting damage to their work culture.

The client later described the experience as “a real-life Olivia Pope and Associates moment.”

At TKG, that’s what we do. We don’t just manage crises—we anticipate them, navigate them, and transform them into opportunities for growth, trust, and resilience.

Whether it’s a sudden reputational threat, an internal communications breakdown, or a high-stakes public issue, TKG provides the strategy, structure, and calm leadership needed to turn disruption into direction.

Crisis doesn’t define your organization. How you respond does. Let’s make that response count.

Exceptional organizations are built on intentional leadership and a clearly defined people strategy.  During this client-tailored session, we work alongside you to align culture, talent, and leadership practices with the company’s overarching business goals—creating a foundation for sustainable growth and long-term success.

Our work begins with a deep dive into your organization’s strategic direction: where you want your company to be, what may be holding you back, and how leadership mindset and culture are shaping your path forward. From there, we assess how you attract, develop, and retain talent—and how those practices reflect your values and business objectives.

The outcome is a collaborative, tailored, actionable roadmap designed to elevate leadership effectiveness, strengthen organizational culture, and drive measurable impact. By bringing clarity, insight, and future-ready planning to your people strategy, we help our clients achieve what’s possible—and beyond.

Our Employee Experience (EX) Certification Program has been designed for all people leaders, from HR professionals to anyone who influences the employee journey.

This certification will be uniquely tailored to your organization, helping participants become true Employee Experience Ambassadors who champion a connected, engaging, and meaningful “hire to retire” journey. The program prepares “ambassadors” to help cultivate a workplace where people feel valued, heard, and inspired to do their best work. After a successful pilot of the certification program, the excitement and demand —  fueled by client feedback and referrals — has been incredible. We can’t wait to share this next evolution of employee experience with you.

Stay tuned — something truly transformative is on the way.

Happy New Year - indeed! As we enter 2026, we’re proud to announce that TKG has entered into an exclusive partnership with one of the largest global private equity firms. This collaboration deepens our long-standing relationship and formalizes our role as their provider of organizational design and talent advisement for their existing portfolio companies and new acquisitions in the CPG, eCommerce, and retail sectors.

As part of this partnership, TKG subsidiary — TKG Talent Partners — will also serve in a limited partnership capacity, further extending our integrated talent advisory solutions.

This is a significant milestone for TKG and a testament to the value we bring clients navigating complex talent and organizational challenges.

To maintain our commitment to delivering first-class service to every client partner— large or small — our new client intake will be limited during this phase. However, expansion plans are actively underway to grow our team and capabilities to support both our current and future clients. We are honored by the trust placed in us and look forward to driving transformative impact across this new chapter.
