Julie Thiel, Founder, Thiel Talent Strategy
Julie Thiel is the founder of Thiel Talent Strategy, where she helps professional service firms strengthen leadership, reduce unnecessary turnover, and build the structure needed to scale and grow without breaking. She works with accounting firms, technology companies, MSPs, and engineering organizations to take people issues off the leadership team’s plate and turn them into a strategic advantage. Thiel believes most organizations don’t actually have a people problem—they have a leadership and structure problem. Too often, firms accept high turnover, inconsistent management, and reactive hiring as the cost of growth. They’re not. These challenges are predictable, measurable, and fixable. With over 25 years of HR leadership experience, Julie helps leaders replace chaos with clarity, build managers who can actually lead, and create the kind of environment where people stay, perform, and grow.
