Our Founder
Kelli Poole
Kelli Poole is the Founder & namesake of Talent Poole Consulting. She is fueled by her ever expanding belief in the capacity of humanity and believes strongly in dismantling systems of oppression to build a future that values equity and inclusion. For over 15 years, Kelli has worked at the intersection of housing, health and economic development to address complex problems like ending homelessness, reforming and divesting from criminal justice systems and integrating community based services into health and behavioral healthcare systems. She has managed large teams in the public and non-profit sectors and designed multi-year, multi-million dollar talent acquisition initiatives focused on recruiting, equipping and retaining leaders across the social impact sector.
In 2019, Kelli made a strategic decision to launch Talent Poole Consulting with a founding mission of “powering social movements through deep investments in human resources”. She prioritized organizational development services and consulted with mission-driven organizations and philanthropies to realize their grandest visions of organizational excellence.
Talent Poole was founded on the belief that people are powerful.
“The world has endless problems and sometimes it's hard to see how all the pieces fit together. So I just focus on myself, and help other leaders connect to themselves and together we commit to caring well for each other, and creating systems that care well for our communities. It’s just one small ripple in the large pool of life.” -Kelli Poole, CEO
Since it’s founding, Talent Poole has expanded to serve government agencies, grown it’s consulting team to over 12 members and redistributed over $2.7M in jobs and funding to communities and individuals with lived experience.
