Human resources executive Jennifer Martinez recently launched Consult HR Partners, to provide strategic and operational human resources, outsourcing services and solutions for businesses of all sizes. Martinez is the president and chief executive officer of the new women-owned, Las Vegas-based boutique firm. Martinez said, “After serving in HR leadership roles for more than 25 years, I see the significant need for outsourced HR services and support to enable companies to focus on growth, bottom-line results and employee engagement. Having led internal HR teams and departments for many years, my new business is well equipped to provide all the HR services, solutions and support companies need, without the inherent costs associated with hiring full-time staff while reducing risk.”
Martinez has more than two decades of global and diversified operational experience leading HR initiatives, departments and programs for both publicly traded and private equity-owned companies. Most recently she was global vice president, corporate human resources at Scientific Games. Prior to that, she was vice president, human resources and executive management board member at Konami Gaming, Inc. She also served as vice president, human resources at Aristocrat Technologies Inc. and held various HR leadership roles with Caesars Entertainment, including opening several new casino resorts.
Martinez said, “I have personally led HR transformation for companies that were start-ups, fast-growing and undergoing extensive merger and acquisition activity. I recognize how important collaborative HR is to any business and the value when companies commit to investing in HR. Yet many companies do not have the resources and budget to maintain in-house staff and require the flexibility to outsource as needs arise. Consult HR Partners will add immediate and measurable value to any company, providing those vital services and solutions as a true business partner – working hand-in-hand with the company’s leadership to help shape business strategy.”
