About Just People - Period
Lisa Terry Fractional CHRO
I am a strategic business consultant and founder of BaE Talent Search, a registered trademark of THE TERRY GROUP LLC, with over 20 years of experience in executive leadership, human resources strategy, talent management, and general management. I specialize in transforming human capital strategies, optimizing organizational structures, and driving leadership effectiveness for major retail and consumer brands with revenues in the hundreds of millions.
As a Fractional Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) and HR Strategy Advisor, I provide executive-level HR leadership to businesses seeking to align their people strategies with business objectives. My expertise spans HR advisory, employee relations, policy development, compliance, compensation structuring, and workforce planning, ensuring leadership teams have the insights to make informed, strategic decisions.
Previously, I served as GM, and Senior Director of HR at Bergdorf Goodman, where I led HR strategy for a workforce of 1,400+ employees, overseeing a $750 million business. In this role, I managed employee relations, talent strategy, financial budgeting, training and development, and compliance for both union and non-union staff, ensuring that workforce initiatives supported the company's business objectives.
At Walmart’s NYC Apparel Office, I spearheaded the recruitment strategy for over 300 roles, guiding a major team transition during a period of organizational change.
Throughout my career, I have led high-impact talent acquisition and workforce transformation initiatives, managing recruitment for organizations ranging from global corporations to scaling startups.
I work closely with CEOs, business leaders, and on-site HR teams to provide strategic guidance on HR compliance, employee relations, performance management, workforce planning, and leadership development. Additionally, I advise on talent management, restructuring, and competitive compensation strategies to ensure businesses remain agile, legally compliant, and aligned with long-term growth objectives.
This new fractional HR service marks the launch of JustPeople_Period, a new division under The Terry Group LLC, dedicated to providing customized, high-impact HR leadership and strategy solutions for businesses seeking expert guidance without a full-time commitment.
