Catherine Nugent HR Consulting LLC

Catherine Nugent HR Consulting provides practical Human Resources solutions for mission driven and nonprofit organizations. My goal is to help you manage your people processes effectively so you can focus on leading your organization and advancing your mission. I take a hands-on,
collaborative approach, offering straightforward, practical, affordable and impactful solutions. With over 20 years of HR consulting experience at industry-leading organizations like L.L. Bean and Specialized Bicycles, I offer:

• HR Support When You Need It
Flexible, on-call, or fractional HR services—ideal for organizations that need expert guidance without a fulltime hire.

• Recruitment and Executive Search
From job postings to final offers—support with hiring at all levels, including full-cycle executive search, stakeholder engagement, and onboarding.

• People Management and Compliance
Support with employee relations, performance conversations, and staying compliant with employment laws and best practices.

• Policies, Playbooks, and Handbooks
Creation or refresh of employee handbooks, HR policies, and standard operating procedures tailored to your organization's values and structure.

• Leadership Development
Support for people managers to build leadership capacity on their teams—practical tools and guidance to help them develop, mentor, and grow their direct reports.

Beyond HR, I’m committed to and find great joy in supporting my community. I serve as a board member for Ketcha Outdoors, a Teaching Assistant at PSL/STRIVE and volunteer cycling “Pilot” at Portland Wheelers. I’m actively involved in local running, paddling, and cycling groups and hold a Registered Maine Guide license for sea kayaking.
