Areas We Serve

Houston-based HR consulting for operations-driven businesses — local expertise, regional reach, national capability.




Contact Us

Nine22 Solutions is headquartered in Houston, Texas — and that's intentional. Houston is home to the industries I specialize in: oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, and the growth-stage companies building the Gulf Coast economy. Being based here means I understand the workforce realities, talent markets, and business culture that shape HR decisions in this region.


I'm Victoria Adams Forsberg, founder of Nine22 Solutions. I provide fractional HR leadership and strategic HR consulting for companies that need senior-level expertise without the overhead of a full-time HR executive. While my roots are in Houston, I support clients across Texas and nationwide — wherever operations-driven businesses need practical, experienced HR guidance.

Areas We Serve:

  • Houston Metropolitan Area

    The Houston metro area is home to more than 7 million people and one of the most diverse business environments in the country. Nine22 serves clients throughout Greater Houston — from downtown headquarters to suburban business parks, from corporate campuses to industrial facilities.


    Houston HR Consulting


    Comprehensive HR consulting for Houston businesses across all major districts — Downtown, Uptown/Galleria, Westchase, Memorial City, The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Pearland, and surrounding communities.

  • Energy Corridor

    The Energy Corridor along Interstate 10 in West Houston is the epicenter of the oil and gas industry. Major operators, independents, oilfield services companies, and energy-focused engineering firms call this district home. Nine22 provides HR consulting built for the unique demands of energy sector employers — commodity cycle workforce planning, safety-critical hiring, and competition for specialized talent.


    Energy Corridor HR Consulting 


    HR services for oil and gas operators, energy startups, oilfield services, and engineering firms in West Houston's premier energy hub.

  • Greenway Plaza

    Greenway Plaza along the 610 Loop is a major professional services hub — home to consulting firms, financial services, technology companies, and growth-stage organizations. The district's mix of established enterprises and emerging businesses creates diverse HR needs, from scaling startups to mature organizations navigating transition.


    Greenway Plaza HR Consulting


    HR consulting for professional services, technology, and growth-stage companies in Houston's Greenway Plaza district.

  • Ship Channel & Gulf Coast

    The Houston Ship Channel and Gulf Coast industrial corridor power the regional economy. Refineries, petrochemical plants, terminals, and maritime operations stretch from the Port of Houston through Pasadena, Baytown, La Porte, Deer Park, Texas City, and Galveston. These 24/7 operations require HR systems built for safety-critical, continuous environments.


    Ship Channel & Gulf Coast HR Consulting 


    HR consulting for petrochemical, refining, maritime, and industrial employers throughout Houston's Ship Channel corridor and Gulf Coast communities.

  • Beyond Houston

    While Nine22 is rooted in Houston, my work extends well beyond the metro area. I support clients with operations across Texas — including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, and major markets like Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin. For organizations with multi-state operations, I provide HR leadership that travels with the business.


    Whether your headquarters is in Houston and your operations span the Gulf Coast, or you're based elsewhere and need Houston-market expertise, Nine22 delivers senior HR support scaled to your geographic footprint.

Why Local Expertise Matters

HR consulting isn't one-size-fits-all — and neither are labor markets. What works in one region doesn't always translate to another. Houston has distinct workforce dynamics shaped by its dominant industries, talent pools, and business culture.

Nine22's industry focus means:

  • Industry concentration — Houston's economy is anchored by oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, and healthcare. HR strategies must reflect these industries' realities.
  • Talent market dynamics — The Gulf Coast competes for specialized talent — petroleum engineers, skilled trades, industrial operators. Compensation and retention strategies require local market intelligence.
  • Texas employment law — At-will employment, no state income tax, and specific regulatory frameworks shape HR practices differently than other states.
  • Business culture — Houston is direct, practical, and results-oriented. HR solutions need to match — less bureaucracy, more action.


Nine22's Houston roots mean you get HR consulting that understands this market — not generic advice adapted from somewhere else.
