Rose's Legacy Statement

A leadership advisor who helps organizations solve their toughest people and business challenges by translating decades of executive and HR experience into practical, actionable solutions.

The Technical Stuff

For more than two decades, I have had the privilege of serving organizations throughout New York's Capital Region as an HR and leadership advisor, executive coach, speaker, and author. While my work has focused on policies, leadership, and workplace strategy, my true impact has been helping organizations create healthier cultures, develop stronger leaders, and make better decisions about people. 

Moreover, I enjoy solving business problems. To do this, I leverage a group of vetted advisors such as bankers, accountants, attorneys, valuation experts to the table. We work as a team to bring the best advice and actionable solutions to keep business plans and initiatives moving in the right direction.

Expertise

Every manager coached, every HR professional mentored, every business guided, and every employee who benefited from a more respectful and effective workplace represents a small part of the legacy I hope to leave. I believe the measure of my career is not the number of presentations I've delivered or books I've written, but the lasting influence those conversations have had on the people and organizations I've been fortunate enough to serve.

HR Executive and Entrepreneur

Rose is best known in New York's Capital Region as an experienced HR executive, consultant, and business advisor with more than 25 years in human resources, finance, and executive leadership. Rose founded and led Pinnacle Human Resources, LLC, growing it into a well-known HR consulting firm serving organizations throughout the region before later transitioning to Suite Advice, LLC, which focuses on C-suite advisory services for small and mid-sized businesses.

Rose’s current practice positions her as more than an HR consultant. Suite Advice helps executives navigate strategic initiatives, serving as a trusted advisor, sounding board, and guide for leadership teams facing complex organizational challenges.

Speaker and Educator

Rose holds the Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) designation from the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI), one of the profession's most recognized senior-level certifications. 

Over the years, Rose has been a frequent presenter for business organizations throughout the Capital Region, speaking on topics such as:

  • Employment law implementation
  • Recruiting and retention
  • Diversity and inclusion
  • HR trends
  • Leadership
  • Workplace culture

Rose has presented to organizations including the Capital Region Chamber Business U, Capital Region HR Association, NYS SHRM and other national associations where she has led workshops for employers and nonprofit leaders.

HR Thought Leader and Leadership in the HR Community

Rose’s public profile reflects a long-standing commitment to making HR practical and strategic. Through the Work Matters column in the Albany Times Union newspaper, LinkedIn articles, business publications, speaking engagements, and educational programming, Rose has advocated for HR as a strategic leadership function rather than simply an administrative department. One example is her published article arguing that HR should report directly to the CEO rather than the CFO.

Rose has been active in the Capital Region HR community for many years, including serving on the board of the Capital Region Human Resource Association (affiliated with SHRM), Northern Rivers Family Services, Capital Region Chamber of Commerce, and the NENY chapter of the Red Cross. 

In addition to Rose’s consulting and speaking, she is an author. Rose published Rose's Recipes for Business: A Tasty Blend of HR Lessons Learned, which uses food analogies to teach HR and leadership concepts. The book is available through Amazon and Audible.

Rose's Recipes for Business, A Tasty Blend of HR Lessons Learned

As a long-time Human Resources professional, executive coach, consultant, and author, I have always believed that some of the most meaningful HR lessons are also the simplest to understand—if they're presented in a way that people remember.
That belief inspired me to write Rose's Recipes for Business: A Tasty Blend of HR Lessons Learned, a collection of engaging stories that uses food and cooking analogies to illustrate practical Human Resources principles. Each chapter pairs a familiar recipe or culinary experience with a real-world workplace lesson, making complex HR concepts approachable, memorable, and immediately applicable. For example, the chapter "Aging Produce" teaches lessons about leveraging an aging workforce and also touches upon what to do when a tenured worker is no longer qualified to do the job.
Rather than offering another textbook on employment law or management theory, the book focuses on the human side of Human Resources—leadership, communication, workplace culture, ethics, accountability, employee engagement, conflict resolution, hiring, coaching, and organizational effectiveness.
My goal was to create a resource that HR professionals and people managers could enjoy reading while finding practical insights they could immediately apply in their organizations.
