Heather McCollum translates and simplifies human resources protocol for emerging businesses and their employees. Her work centers on small organizations working to scale that don't yet have a fully established HR function, helping them build that foundation as they grow.

She is also the author of Work Like a Pro: Your Guide to Finding, Accepting & Starting a New Job. She believes HR management, done well, is essential to a growing business, and that employees who understand how it works gain a greater sense of control in their work lives.

Over a 21-year career that began at CIGNA, she has partnered with companies including Pepsi Bottling Group, The Walt Disney Company, Cushman & Wakefield, EarthLink, and AECOM, with a focus on HR business partnership.

Heather is a consummate coach to leaders who see their employees as an investment and recognize how talent shapes strategy and profitability. She lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan and enjoys cooking, boating, and independent film.
