Your Strategic Partner in Career & Business Excellence
About Me & THRS
I’m Phylicia Montgomery, the founder and principal consultant of The Human Resource Specialist LLC (THRS)—a veteran-owned consulting firm dedicated to helping professionals and small businesses achieve career success, operational excellence, and long-term sustainability.
With over 14 years of experience in Human Resources and Strategic Planning, including 11 years of decorated military service in the U.S. Army and three years in Federal Contracting, I bring a unique combination of military precision, HR expertise, and business strategy to every client I serve.
At THRS, my mission is simple: I help professionals and businesses break the cycles that have held them back, transforming inefficiencies into high-value opportunities for growth. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, striving for leadership, or seeking to scale your business, I provide tailored solutions that get results.
Why I Started THRS
My journey began with a deep commitment to service, leadership, and transformation. As a Human Resources Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) in the Army, I spent years leading teams, optimizing operations, and ensuring personnel were mission-ready. I saw firsthand how structure, discipline, and strategy could change lives—not just in the military but in every professional and business environment.
I founded THRS because I wanted to help more people succeed—not just by offering career advice or business consulting, but by providing the kind of strategic insight that truly changes trajectories. I believe that success isn’t just about what you do today—it’s about breaking patterns that have held you back for years and building a foundation for long-term, generational success.
