Built on Decades of Real-World HR Leadership
"We built Lighthouse HR Consulting because organizations deserve better than generic HR advice. They deserve senior expertise, practical strategies, and a trusted partner who stays the course with them."
Lighthouse HR Consulting was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that organizations of all sizes deserve access to senior-level HR expertise. Too often, smaller and mid-sized organizations navigate complex people challenges without the guidance they need — leading to avoidable risk, leadership struggles, and people systems that can't keep pace with growth.
Stacey Baker (SPHR) founded Lighthouse HR Consulting to bridge the gap between complex people challenges and the senior-level expertise organizations need to navigate them. We are a principals-only firm — meaning every client works directly with our founder, every time.
We serve organizations nationwide, bringing deep compliance expertise and broad industry experience in healthcare, nonprofits, professional services, startups, and government contracting.
