What Our Clients Say

""Brannon has been part of our leadership journey for years—first in-house, and now through Carnelian. Her steady hand has helped us navigate hiring surges, culture shifts, and strategic transitions with clarity and care.”

Tobias Peggs, CEO, Square Roots

"Carnelian set up everything we needed from scratch—payroll setup, HRIS, ATS, handbook, hiring plan—and made it all feel manageable. It gave us the structure we needed but didn't have the bandwidth or expertise to do ourselves.  Working with Carnelian allowed us to focus on building the business while knowing the people function was bullet proof."

Laurence Latimer, CEO, Dinara

“Carnelian has helped us modernize every aspect of HR, while also supporting our leaders through coaching and systems that actually work. Their blend of strategy, tech, and people insight has made a lasting impact.”

Kristin Clark, President & COO, Kalibri
