About House of HR LLC
Meet Julie Russo
I am the founder of House of HR, LLC, a company that provides effective HR management solutions and strategies to clients across various industries. I have over 16 years of experience in Human Resources, from small startups to the US Air Force.
I was born and raised in Connecticut, where I also went to Quinnipiac University for my Bachelors in Management and Accounting and continued there for my MBA with a concentration in HR. After college, I headed to New York City to grow my career through larger corporations like Robert Half International and also a smaller insurance brokerage. I then spent some time abroad working for the U.S. Air Force in Germany alongside my husband. We moved back to CT to start our family and were blessed with 3 children.
For 8 years, I served as the Vice President of Human Resources at Fitness Holdings North America - Crunch Fitness, a network of over 40 fitness clubs across six states, with over 1500 employees. I started at the company when there was only 4 locations and 150 employees,
so being a vital part of their rapid growth is one of my greatest career achievements.
Consulting has been a dream of mine for quite some time, and I jumped at the opportunity to pursue my passion.
I am so excited for this venture and to work alongside each client!
House of HR's Story
Founded in 2023, House of HR LLC was born out of a passion for helping businesses of all sizes navigate the complex world of HR.
After 8 years, serving as the Vice President of Human Resources for a large company with over 40 locations and 1500 employees across the Northeast, I decided to take a leap of faith and start pursuing my long time dream of consulting. I have developed the HR function for businesses large and small throughout my career and found my greatest strength was in strategic HR planning and hope to bring that expertise to other businesses in order to optimize workplace productivity and performance.
As a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR), I specialize in true Generalist functions, hence the term "House", such as employee relations, strategy, compliance, policy and procedure, payroll and onboarding. I have a strong track record of delivering strategic and operational excellence in all aspects of human resources management and administration. I partner with senior leaders and managers to align HR policies and practices with the company's mission, vision, and values. I also develop and implement innovative programs and initiatives to attract, retain, and develop talent, enhance employee engagement, and foster a powerful culture. My goal is to help organizations achieve their objectives by leveraging the power of their human capital.
My Mission
At House of HR, my mission is to empower organizations to thrive through exceptional human resources practices. I strive to provide innovative, tailored solutions that optimize talent management, foster employee engagement, and cultivate a culture of inclusivity and growth. Through my expertise, integrity, and commitment to excellence, I aim to navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, driving sustainable success for my clients and their people.
My Values
I believe in honesty, integrity, and transparency. My approach is client-centric, and I strive to build long-term relationships with each of my customers by being a trusted resource to improve processes, operationalize company cultures, and invest in people to bring purpose to all they do.
