01/07/2026

** BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ** I’m incredibly grateful to share that HR NOLA, LLC has been acquired by Skillcloud HCM Solutions.
What started as a vision to do HR differently grew into something truly special; national recognition, meaningful client impact, and a team culture that became a defining part of our success. I’m deeply thankful to the employees who helped build and scale HR NOLA along the way, and to our current team whose trust, collaboration, and genuine connection with one another bled through into the work we produced. That human connection became our differentiator.
None of this would have been possible without our clients who believed in us, the mentors who guided me, and the partners and vendors who supported our growth with integrity.
This next chapter is about building even more: expanded services, deeper expertise, and greater impact, all while staying grounded in what has always mattered most: client success and people-first solutions.
I’m excited for what’s ahead for HR NOLA as part of Skillcloud and for everything this partnership allows us to offer together. I'm grateful for the journey and excited for what’s ahead. Amy
