Jackie Koch

CEO

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch (pronounced COKE, like the soda or pop if you're from MN like me). I have loads of experience recruiting and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and small businesses. Technically, I have an MBA, although I've definitely learned more about building businesses working with startups for the last 8 years.

What I've learned to be true:
✓ Start-ups and small businesses wait way too long to bring in recruiting and HR support.
✓ This leads to costly, unintentional mistakes and blind spots that could have easily been avoided if they just had experts helping them along the way.
✓ Founders & Owners think HR is something anyone can do so they pass it off to the wrong people or think they'll figure it out, later. Which is almost always too late.

Because I love entrepreneurship, I decided to found People Principles - where we help small businesses and startups scale with our Fractional Recruiting & Human Resource Consulting services.
