Internal Affairs | People Strategy | Organizational Risk

Hi, I’m Janelle Bechdol. For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of people, policy, and organizational impact—from global firms like EY, to community organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, to leading HR for national presidential campaigns in support of President Biden and Vice President Harris.

Today, I serve as both a Senior Advisor and a Fractional HR Leader, partnering with mission-focused organizations operating in complex, high-stakes environments. I step in when leaders need someone who can bring clarity, structure, and calm—while also coaching managers, strengthening teams, and holding the work with care.

At the core of my approach is a belief that organizational performance is built through people: their trust, their health, and their ability to do hard work together. I’m especially skilled at navigating sensitive moments involving people, power, and risk, while strengthening the internal systems that make durable impact possible.

Inside: Workforce vitality (People + internal operations)
Out: Impact, accountability, and governance (Stakeholder trust + mission integrity)

Let’s build your organization’s vitality—from inner workforce to outer world force.
