Who We Are

Impacting HR organizations since 2010

People Optimize Partners (POP) is powered by the entrepreneurial spirit, aspirations to impact people organizations positively, and while helping to provide a transformative and future-forward way of working.

POP is a virtual and US-based lifestyle firm specializing in human resources and organization development consulting and services. To our partners and clients, we are known as people strategists, supporting, “how to do humans” in an organizational setting. 
POP leverages our relationships nationally and globally to feed our souls while meeting our client’s needs. We believe in building a community around a shared passion where everyone wins. Our POP community includes outcomes focused futurists, human-centered practitioners, and partners who have worked in the trenches and have a strong desire to help people and organizations thrive. 

POP’s vision began over two decades ago, by our founder and managing principal, Tammie Walker. She is a global transformation leader, working with some of the globes' most significant companies and is practical at helping organizations flourish through people. Tammie has built the POP identity by surrounding herself with like-minded practitioners and ensures our work is always about aligning the people with the organization for more optimal organizational performance. 
POP brings domestic and global expertise in all things people. For some that might be HR, for others it may be leadership or even organization behavior PhDs. No matter what need you have, our practitioners can help meet your needs locally, regionally, virtually or at your work site(s).
