About Ridgegate
One thing I’ve learned in my years as an HR practitioner is that business success and failure always comes down to people. Sure product, or technology or sales strategy are critical components, but there are people at the core of each of those aspects of your business.
Success starts and ends with your people. So if you are trying to solve a people-related business problem and you don’t know where to start, give me a call. With 20 years of experience and a strong network, I have the know-how to tackle any HR problem.
I’ll spend the time with you to understand what’s going on, make recommendations for a fix, and provide a plan to execute on it. No over blown projects, no off the shelf solutions. Just working alongside you to get the best possible business result.

Deanna Hunter, Consultant & Owner
My experience comes from 20 years in HR. I’ve worked in different industries, in start-ups and well-established companies, in small and large organizations. I’ve worked with supervisors, senior executives and front line employees. I’ve fired, hired, strategized, acquired, facilitated, coached, trained, laughed, cried … you get the picture.
I’ve honed some valuable skills along the way. I have learned to assess and identify talent, I know how to keep a team engaged and excited about where the business is going. I am an excellent people coach, great at developing and executing on a project plan and I know a lot about the complicated world of HR.
I love helping business owners navigate the all-important people part of their business.
