About us
Meet Tanner!
Hi! My name is Tanner, Founder and Principal of Cascadia HR, a Victoria-based people operations and executive search consulting firm. I partner with organizations to deliver thoughtful, high-impact HR and talent solutions that strengthen leadership, elevate culture, and support long-term business success. My background spans multidisciplinary team leadership, HR operations, labour relations, recruitment, performance management, and organizational design across both government and corporate environments, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the realities of modern business.
Being raised in an entrepreneurial family, I developed an early appreciation for ambition, adaptability, and the importance of strong relationships in business. That basis continues to shape my approach today: practical, credible, and deeply people-focused. Supporting an employer in building their team or helping a candidate navigate their next career move, I bring a strategic and personal lens to every engagement.
Through Cascadia HR, I offer HR consulting, executive search, and headhunting services designed to create strong matches between organizations and talent. I works with employers seeking capable people who align with their culture and goals, and with candidates looking for the right opportunity to grow and thrive. Goal is to make the process thoughtful, efficient, and effective for both sides.
