Kyle Patrick Smith

I spent more than 25 years inside corporate HR, helping executives and leaders navigate growth, disruption, and change. Today I work with organizations planning workforce transitions—layoffs, reorganizations, closures, and terminations—where decisions carry legal, cultural, and reputational risk.

I advise on reduction-in-force design, executive decision support, employee communications, separation processes, and post-transition stabilization. I also deliver leadership and HR training, and partner on executive recruiting. My goal is practical: reduce avoidable risk, preserve trust where possible, and help organizations recover faster.
