  • Principal Consultant: JC Padilla

    As the Principal Consultant at JC Padilla Consulting, LLC, I bring over 20 years of leadership experience in human resources, talent management, and organizational development across both government and military sectors. My mission is to help organizations align their people strategies with their operational goals—through expert HR consulting, leadership support, and effective conflict resolution.

    Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of teams and organizations, including the City of San Antonio, City of Tukwila, King County Public Health, the Department of Social and Health Services (Washington State), and served as a Senior Talent Manager for the U.S. Army. These experiences have sharpened my ability to manage complex dynamics, guide organizational change, and foster high-performing, collaborative work environments.

    At JC Padilla Consulting, LLC, a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), we specialize in delivering practical, customized HR solutions—from compliance and employee relations to workforce planning and leadership development. Our services are designed to meet organizations where they are and help them grow stronger from the inside out.

    One of my key areas of focus is workplace mediation and conflict resolution, which I integrate into broader HR strategies to reduce risk, support team cohesion, and create healthier workplace cultures. With a strong foundation in both military discipline and people-centered leadership, I approach every challenge with integrity, fairness, and a commitment to long-term success.

    Whether you’re managing rapid growth, facing internal team issues, or simply looking to improve your HR systems, I partner closely with you to design and deliver solutions that work. At JC Padilla Consulting, we believe strong relationships and clear communication are the foundation of any successful organization—and we’re here to help you build both.
