For Katherine Daniel, SHRM-SCP, Montani Consulting is the culmination of more than 15 years of experience and success (and slight obsession, to be honest) in the human resources and people operations field. Before launching Montani, Katherine kick-started the HR division of one of the nation’s fastest-growing media companies. From a team of one, she quickly increased her crew to include 80+ employees and spearheaded people ops initiatives that led to top recognition for employee workplace satisfaction from Inc., Fortune, Entrepreneur, and many others. Katherine served as a mentor, confidant, and trusted advisor for countless HR professionals and business executives over the years, all while continuing to lead her growing team. Always excited and willing to offer her guidance, she realized where her true passion actually lies: Helping businesses build high-performing, highly loyal teams and provide a positive work-life for team members who will, in turn, bring their very best to work every day. Her desire to assist as many businesses as she can led Katherine to launch Montani Consulting. Katherine embodies the “work hard, play hard” mindset, always gearing up to catch the next live concert on her calendar or to host a get-together at her coastal home in Wilmington, NC. When the workday ends, it’s a safe bet Katherine will either have a new book in her hand or will be tuning in to Jeopardy. Either way, her rescue pup, Alice, is most definitely by her side.
