David Russell, SHRM-SCP
HR & Client Development Consultant
“I help organizations build workforce strategies that drive real business results.”
With over 15 years of experience as a Human Resources Business Partner, I work with organizations to turn workforce strategy into a true competitive advantage. My background spans manufacturing, distribution, transportation, and telecommunications environments where execution, efficiency, and alignment are critical. I specialize in performance management, talent strategy, employee engagement, and workforce planning, with a focus on building systems that enable clear, data-driven decisions. The result: stronger leadership accountability, improved workforce performance, and measurable impact on key business metrics. I’ve partnered with organizations such as Ducommun Aerostructures, Target, Hannaford, and Verizon, helping leaders navigate complex workforce challenges and translate strategy into execution.
As a Certified Senior Professional, I don’t view HR as a support function, I position it as a driver of business performance. My approach is simple: align people, data, and strategy to create results that last.
Outside of Work
Outside of my work, I spend my time riding my motorcycle and exploring the Catskills, where I live with my wife and many animals. I believe balance matters—and that perspective shapes how I approach both business and life.
