The HR Foundation You Need.

The Flexibility You Want.

HR consulting for growing businesses that are ready to stop managing people and HR on the fly.

What I Do:

Your business has grown.

The way you manage people needs to grow with it.

As your team grows, managing people gets more complicated. Founders get pulled into employee issues, managers need more support, and the processes that used to work start to break down.

I help build the structure underneath your growing team so you can spend less time managing people problems and more time running your business.

Let’s Work Together!

Project-Based Support

For a defined scope and outcome—from figuring out what your organization needs through an HR audit to building a process, system, or training program.

Best for companies who: Want to solve a specific problem or build something with a clear scope, timeline, and budget.

Embedded HR

Experienced HR leadership inside your organization without hiring a full-time HR leader. I work alongside your team to lead the work, solve problems, and build stronger internal systems.

Best for companies who: Need more hands-on leadership and capacity than a project or occasional advice can provide.

HR Advisory

Ongoing access to experienced HR guidance for leaders or internal HR owners who want an experienced partner to think through decisions, people issues, and what comes next.

Best for companies who: Can handle the day-to-day internally but want senior HR expertise in their corner.

Because no two businesses are the same, every engagement starts with a free consultation.
We’ll talk through your goals, what’s happening in the business, and the level of support that makes the most sense.

About Me:

Katherine Holmgren

Executive MBA, SHRM-SCP

Hi, I’m Katherine Holmgren. HR strategist, consultant, and founder of Holmgren Consulting.

I’ve spent 13+ years in HR, and the part I’ve always loved most is figuring out how to make work actually work better—for the business and for the people in it.

I started Holmgren Consulting to bring that kind of practical HR support to growing businesses. I love taking something that feels messy or overly complicated and turning it into clear systems, better-equipped managers, and a workplace that can grow without everything running through the founder.

I’m based in Kansas City and hold an Executive MBA and SHRM-SCP certification.

I’d love to help you build an HR function that makes everything else in your business a little easier.
