Industries We Serve


Not every HR challenge is the same. The issues facing a growing oil and gas company look different from those at a manufacturing startup or a commercial construction firm scaling its crews. Generic HR solutions — built for stable, predictable workplaces — often fall short in industries where work is project-based, safety-critical, or operating around the clock.


Nine22 Solutions specializes in operations-driven industries. I'm Victoria Adams Forsberg, and I built this firm around businesses where HR decisions show up immediately — in safety performance, production output, project execution, and workforce stability. These are environments where getting people systems right isn't optional. It's operational.


Whether you're an energy startup building your first HR foundation, a construction company competing for skilled trades, a manufacturer managing shift operations, or a founder-led company navigating rapid growth, Nine22 Solutions brings senior HR expertise designed for how your business actually works.


Represents Nine 22 Solutions can advise various industrial, construction settings, including oil field, welding, and office.

Industries We Serve:

  • Oil & Gas

    HR expertise built for the realities of the energy sector — from wellhead to headquarters.


    Houston's oil and gas industry faces unique workforce challenges: commodity cycle volatility, safety-critical operations, specialized talent markets, and regulatory complexity. Nine22 supports energy companies — from startups building their first teams to established operators managing field and corporate workforces — with HR systems designed for energy operations.

  • Construction

    HR built for project-based work, skilled trades, and safety-sensitive operations.


    Construction companies operate in constant motion — ramping crews up and down with the project pipeline, competing for skilled tradespeople, and managing safety across multiple jobsites. Nine22 helps commercial contractors, specialty trades, industrial construction firms, and emerging contractors build HR practices that hold up under project pressure.

  • Manufacturing

    HR expertise designed for production environments — where workforce performance directly drives operational outcomes.


    Manufacturing lives and dies on execution. Production lines must run, shifts must be staffed, and quality standards must be met. Nine22 supports manufacturers — from startups launching first facilities to established operations managing complex shift schedules — with HR systems built for the realities of production work.

  • Growth-Stage & Founder-Led Companies

    HR expertise for the inflection points that determine whether companies scale — or stall.


    The journey from startup to established company is rarely smooth. What worked at 10 employees breaks at 30. Informal culture becomes harder to sustain. Founders become bottlenecks. Nine22 helps startups, founder-led organizations, and growth-stage companies build people systems that scale — without unnecessary bureaucracy and without losing what made them successful.

Why Industry Focus Matters

Generic HR consulting treats every business the same. But an oil and gas company managing field crews through commodity cycles has different needs than a manufacturer running 24/7 shift operations. A construction contractor competing for electricians faces different challenges than a tech startup scaling its engineering team.


Nine22's industry focus means:

  • Understanding how your business actually operates — not applying corporate HR theory to operational realities
  • Recognizing industry-specific challenges — from prevailing wage compliance to commodity cycle workforce planning
  • Building HR systems that fit — practical solutions for project-based, shift-based, and safety-critical work
  • Speaking your language — no translation required between HR recommendations and operational execution


Houston-Based. Houston-Focused.

Nine22 Solutions is based in Houston and serves organizations throughout the Houston metropolitan area — from the Energy Corridor and downtown to The Woodlands, Sugar Land, and the Ship Channel industrial corridor. I also support clients with operations across Texas and in multi-state environments.

Houston's economy runs on operations-driven industries. Oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, and the companies that support them form the backbone of this region. Nine22 was built to serve these businesses — with HR expertise that understands Gulf Coast operations, Texas employment law, and the workforce realities unique to this market.
