Nicole Green
Founder & Principal Consultant · SHRM-SCP · SPHRi
Nicole built her HR career the hard way — starting as an administrative assistant in the demanding world of oil and gas and earning every step through measurable results. Over 9+ years, her trajectory took her from HR Coordinator to National Corporate Recruiter, to HR Generalist, HR Manager, and Senior Regional HR Manager, before ultimately serving as Director of HR for North America at an international organization.
Metis HR Consulting was founded in direct response to a crisis Nicole watched unfold across organizations of every size: a significant rise in HR burnout and turnover creating dangerous liability gaps — often with no one in the room qualified to see them. When HR functions are understaffed or in constant flux, compliance exposure grows, leadership falters, and data integrity breaks down. Metis exists to close that gap.
“Always ask questions before making a decision that will have an impact on others — that’s how you make a real difference.”
Nicole Green · Founder, Metis HR Consulting
Her passions — data analytics, leadership coaching, and legal compliance — are the core of every Metis engagement. She brings a practitioner’s instinct, a strong ethical compass, and a genuine commitment to making a meaningful difference for the companies and employees she serves.

Regional to National Scope
A career that grew from local HR operations to regional leadership to Director of HR for North America at an international organization — with the perspective that comes from operating at every level.
Data-Driven Methodology
Analytics isn't a buzzword here — it's how decisions get made. Nicole brings a deep passion for HR data, metrics, and reporting that turns people operations into a strategic business asset.
Ethics-First Philosophy
Every engagement is guided by a foundational belief: always ask the right questions before making decisions that impact people. It's not just professional practice — it's personal conviction.
