About Us

Being an Employer is tough! The laws and rules keep changing, it’s hard to find and keep great employees, leaders need training, and no one wants to end up in court due to innocent mistakes. We’ve faced the same challenges and learned the hard lessons. Now, we use that experience to help employers stay compliant, develop strong leaders, reduce risk, and build workplaces that actually work. Our team of experienced HR, Training, Coaching and Leadership Development experts are trusted guides helping employers protect their businesses and strengthen their teams.

We help employers reduce HR and compliance risk and build stronger leaders through expert consulting and training. Put our experienced professionals to work for you!

We are a one-stop solution for employers seeking to supplement their internal team without adding costly overhead. Formed by consolidating Frontline HR Solutions (est. 2019) and Frontline Develop (est. 2023), we offer world-class, affordable support for every people-related need.

Our secret sauce is our team of highly-experienced, relatable, subject matter experts. We work with our clients to assess their unique needs and assign the right expert to help them implement practical, high-impact solutions.

2013

Launched with a clear mission: bring operator-level expertise to companies navigating their most critical inflection points. No PowerPoint factories. Just experienced leaders helping other leaders win.

2018

Expanded our practice areas as clients demanded deeper capability in digital transformation and operational scale. Market shifts required new expertise—we built it.

2023

Crossed 200 client engagements across four continents. Our reputation now opens doors, but we've never forgotten what got us here: delivering results that show up in revenue and margin.

Our values

What drives us

Our values aren't wall art, they're the principles that guide every client engagement, hiring decision, and strategic choice we make as a firm.

Our overriding goal is to help our clients and their people become the best they can be. We view every relationship as a partnership and work hard to earn and preserve your trust.

Client outcomes first

We measure success by client results, not billable hours. Every recommendation must pass one test: will this create measurable value for the business?

Intellectual honesty

We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Tough conversations early prevent costly mistakes later.

Practical over theoretical

Business strategy must survive contact with reality. We design solutions your teams can actually execute with the resources you actually have.

Strategic excellence

Every engagement demands our best thinking. We bring frameworks refined over decades and customize them to your specific context and constraints.

Collaborative mindset

Your team knows your business better than we ever will. Our job is to bring outside perspective, proven methods, and capacity to accelerate what you already know needs doing.

Long-term partnerships

Quick wins matter, but sustainable advantage comes from building organizational capabilities that compound over years, not quarters.
