Houston HR Consulting
Senior HR expertise for Houston's operations-driven businesses — based locally, serving clients across Texas and nationwide.
Houston is the energy capital of the world, a major hub for construction and manufacturing, and home to one of the most dynamic business environments in the country. From Fortune 500 headquarters to founder-led startups, from the Energy Corridor to the Texas Medical Center, Houston companies operate in competitive, fast-moving industries where workforce decisions have real consequences.
Nine22 Solutions is a Houston-based HR consulting firm specializing in operations-driven organizations. I'm Victoria Adams Forsberg, and I provide fractional HR leadership and strategic HR advisory services for companies that need senior-level expertise without the overhead of a full-time HR executive. Whether you're across town or across the country, I deliver the same hands-on approach and practical solutions.

Based in Houston. Serving Clients Nationwide.
Nine22 Solutions is headquartered in Houston, but I work with clients wherever they operate. For Houston-area companies, I'm available for on-site work, in-person meetings, and embedded engagement with your team. For clients across Texas and nationwide, I deliver the same senior-level expertise through a flexible combination of remote support and travel as needed.
The work is the same whether I'm in your office or on a video call — practical HR solutions, strategic guidance, and hands-on support. What matters is that you get the expertise you need, delivered in a way that fits how you work.
FAQs
Q: Do you only work with Houston companies?
No. While I'm based in Houston and serve many local clients, I work with companies across Texas and nationwide. For out-of-area clients, I provide the same services through remote engagement with travel as needed for key milestones, strategic sessions, or situations that benefit from in-person presence.
Q: What size companies do you work with in Houston?
I typically work with companies from about 10 to 200 employees — organizations large enough to have real HR needs but not so large that they need a full internal HR department. This includes startups, growth-stage companies, and established businesses that need senior HR expertise without full-time overhead.
Q: How is working with a Houston-based consultant different from a national firm?
I understand the Houston business environment — the industries, the talent markets, the competitive landscape. I'm not learning your market while billing you for it. And because I'm local, I can be on-site when it matters, whether that's for a difficult conversation, a leadership offsite, or an urgent situation that needs immediate attention.
