Meet the Principal Consultant
Principal Consultant & Founder
Dr. Thomas W. Faulkner brings over 15 years of strategic human resources experience to organizations that need more than a consultant — they need someone who has been in the room when things go wrong and knows how to fix it.
As a U.S. Army veteran, he learned early that systems either hold under pressure or they don't. That same standard drives every engagement at Faulkner HR Solutions. His doctoral research focused on professional development frameworks in public sector organizations — specifically their impact on adaptability, motivation, and retention — and that foundation shapes how he approaches every client relationship.
He holds dual master's degrees in Business Administration and Leadership, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and the SPHR. He has worked across municipal government, healthcare, professional services, nonprofits, and growing private-sector businesses. HR challenges don't look the same in a city hall as they do in a 40-person professional services firm — and he builds solutions accordingly.
