Louisiana companies between 50 and 2,500 employees tend to hit the same wall: the business has outgrown its HR function, and the next people decision carries real money and real risk. KHR Executive Advisory was built for that wall. Based in Baton Rouge and working across New Orleans, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Shreveport, and the Gulf South, KHR provides executive-level people leadership for companies that need the judgment of a seasoned HR executive without adding one to payroll. It is a practice built for the decisions where HR meets legal risk.
A senior people executive embedded with your team for a set number of hours each week, running the function or holding the seat while you hire.
Standing access to senior counsel on the people decisions that can't wait, so when the HR 911 call comes, you already know who you're calling.
A 90-day audit, recommendations, and build-out for companies whose growth got ahead of their people systems.
Flat-fee, manager-level searches and leadership assessment.
Benchmarking, structures, and pay decisions that hold up under scrutiny.
Written for companies operating in more than one state.
Kristyn Castello is a Louisiana-licensed employment attorney and SHRM-certified executive who has held the seat herself: she built people functions three times from zero; grew a health tech startup from 50 to more than 150 employees across ten states through a year when revenue grew from $9 million to $43 million, then took that same company public as its head of people; and supported a construction workforce that grew from 150 to 270 across 15 states as revenue climbed from $50 million to more than $100 million. Her work spans founder-led and family-held companies, private equity management companies and their portfolio companies, and investor-backed startups, including a private equity firm with $4 billion in assets under management, where she was the first dedicated HR hire and guided M&A people diligence across its portfolio. Most companies facing a hard people call need two people in the room, the one who knows the team and the one who knows the law. At KHR, both sit in one seat.
Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Shreveport and Bossier City, Monroe, Alexandria, and the Houma-Thibodaux corridor, along with companies across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and clients nationwide. On-site across the region when the work calls for it.
