Sound Familiar?
These aren't just HR issues. They're business risks, and they get expensive fast.
How We Work Together
Most companies don't call Klavis because they're looking for a Fractional Chief People Officer. They call because something needs attention now, a leadership gap, an acquisition, a complex employee issue, rapid growth, or HR infrastructure that simply isn't keeping up.
We start there. Then we look beyond the immediate issue to understand what's driving it, what else may be at risk, and what your business will need next. When ongoing leadership makes sense, Klavis stays alongside your executive team to build and lead the people strategy for what comes next.
We don't bring a generic HR playbook. We start with your business, where you're going, what's getting in the way, and what your leaders and employees need to get there. Because HR that isn't aligned with the business isn't strategy. It's paperwork.
Your HR leader left, your current team needs executive guidance, or people decisions are landing on the CEO's desk. Klavis steps in with experienced leadership without waiting months for an executive search.
Your business has outgrown the HR systems, processes, or structure that got you here. Klavis stabilizes what's not working and builds the infrastructure needed for your next stage.
You're acquiring a company, or you've already closed, and the people side needs experienced leadership. Klavis helps identify risk, protect continuity, and lead the people work from diligence through integration.
An employee complaint, leadership conflict, organizational change, or high-risk situation needs experienced judgment now. Klavis steps in quickly to address what's happening and help reduce the risk of it happening again.
When You Need More Than a Fix
Klavis becomes an embedded member of your leadership team, providing ongoing executive counsel, leading your people strategy, strengthening your HR function, and making sure the systems behind your business keep pace with where you're going.

"I started my HR career on the front lines, managing employee relations, navigating union environments, and supporting acquisitions at a building materials and manufacturing company. Twenty years later, I've sat at the executive table for some of the most complex people decisions a growing company can face.
At Kodiak Building Partners, prior to its acquisition, I built the HR function from the ground up, scaling the organization from 7 to 45 companies and growing to 7,500+ employees. I led HR through 30+ acquisitions, negotiated $4M in benefits savings, and built the infrastructure that took a company from startup to $3.2B. I've worked with family-owned businesses protecting a legacy and PE-backed organizations moving fast toward an exit. I understand what's at stake on both sides of the table.
I founded Klavis Advisory because growing companies deserve the same caliber of HR leadership as the largest corporations. You shouldn't have to choose between expert guidance and affordability, and you shouldn't have to figure out your people problems alone.
When you work with Klavis, you get me. Not a junior associate. Not a generic playbook. A trusted partner who learns your business, speaks your language, and picks up the phone when it matters most."
“Executive HR leadership shouldn't be reserved for the biggest companies.”
Results That Speak for Themselves
Saved in benefits costs through strategic planning and plan redesign, without reducing employee coverage.
Companies integrated under a unified HR infrastructure, across 30+ acquisitions, without missing a beat.
Employees supported through one of the most aggressive growth periods in the building materials industry.
Start Here, Before a Small Problem Becomes an Expensive One
A bad hire costs 1.5 to 2x that person's annual salary. One wrongful termination claim averages $125,000 in legal fees, before a settlement. Benefits costs at growing companies routinely run 20 to 30% higher than they should, and nobody's flagging it. And turnover in a 100-person company? Easily $500K in a single year when you factor in recruiting, lost productivity, and institutional knowledge walking out the door.
None of this shows up as a line item. It just shows up as margin you can't explain.
