A Message From Our Sr. Managing Director
Welcome and thank you for visiting our website! With over 30 years of HR leadership in various sectors, I've had the privilege of learning from some of the best leaders in America.
My journey led me to discover the transformative power of the Predictive Index during a plant turnaround at Marvin Windows in 2017.
The insights gained were game-changing, proving that while software alone can't improve an organization, the right people data can revolutionize culture, boost retention, and drive engagement.
Inspired by this experience, I became a Certified Talent Optimization Consultant in August 2019, and Montgomery Hassell is now a Certified Partner with The Predictive Index. We've seen firsthand how behavioral science can enhance any organization, regardless of industry or sector, and we're excited to share our experience you.
Remember: the right people, led by effective, self-aware leaders, is the difference between good & great. I've seen it in action.
