Meet Our People

 

	Annie Reed Founder / Consultant “I have learned a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. I have learned that whenever I decide something with kindness, I have made the right decision. I have learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. I have learned that if you laugh and drink soda pop at the same time, it will come out your nose.” After years working in the Human Resource world from start-ups to large international organizations and owning her own consulting firm in Bend, Oregon, Annie opened HR Annie Consulting in May of 2010 here in the Portland area. She holds a strong belief in volunteering with past service on various non-profit boards and current work with Chambers of Commerce.  Along with solid knowledge and skills in the field of business and human resources, Annie is known for bringing a love of problem solving with a sense of humor, perspective and common sense to our client’s businesses.
	Cindy Fetty Director of Operations / Consultant “Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s when you’ve had everything to do, and you’ve done it.” – Margaret Thatcher For the past 20 years, I have worked in a Human Resource and Training capacity. My career began working in the Ski Industry, continued in the Restaurant Industry, and most recently as a small business owner, myself. I have developed quite a “tool kit” for Human Resource functions including the areas of compliance, recruiting, hiring, training and retention, team building, safety and risk management and supervisor training, as well as employee performance reviews, internal investigations and more. We have an amazing team at HR Annie – our knowledge bank and longevity of experience; our credible relationships with past and present clients; our amazing ability to say it like it is, weaves effortlessly with the needs of our clients. For fun and most importantly, I spend my free time with my family enjoying the amazing offerings of the great Northwest.
