Welcome to True North Executive Solutions

Our Mission:

To help organizations achieve strategic clarity through a deep analysis and actionable recommendations to align people, culture and systems.

Bringing Clarity to Strategy-and Connection to People.

We help organizations design the right plan and build the right team and systems to make it happen.

Because strategy without people and systems falls flat.


And people without strategy lose direction.


We bring both together to drive real, lasting performance.

Whether you’re a nonprofit seeking to maximize your impact or a for-profit company aiming for sustainable growth, delivering on your organization’s mission depends on having a stable and scalable operational foundation.

At True North Executive Solutions, we know that lasting success requires more than just vision, it takes the right strategy and the people systems to carry it forward.

With decades of C-suite leadership experience as CEO, COO, and CHRO, we’ve been in your seat. We understand the weight of leading through complexity, transitions, and uncertainty, and we bring that lived experience to every engagement.

What makes True North unique is our ability to bridge strategy and human resources expertise in one integrated approach. Many firms focus on one or the other, but we know that an organization cannot be successful unless it understands its current state, has a clear strategic plan for the future and builds the people and infrastructure to make it happen.

This dual expertise is our hallmark: we connect strategy to execution, aligning people, structure, and culture with long-term goals. The result? Organizations that are not only future-ready but equipped for sustainable growth.

Together, we can build a strategy your people can deliver, and the team and systems that can deliver your strategy.

Our Difference

At most firms, you’ll find either strategic planning or human resources expertise.

We excel at both.

Our unique combination allows us to guide organizations in crafting forward-looking strategies and implement the people, culture, and organizational systems required to bring those strategies to life. This integrated approach ensures your plan isn’t just thoughtful, it’s fully executable.

We’re as comfortable in the boardroom discussing long-term direction as we are supporting leaders on the people side of the business. That’s rare. And it’s powerful.

We’ll use our real-life experience leading nonprofits and for-profits through transitions to guide you in creating a strategy your people can execute, and in building the team and systems that make it happen.
