Sharifa Gomez - Principal, Jomez Consulting.  

Sharifa Gomez is a certified human resources professional in the United States and Canada, with 16+ years of experience helping companies around the world manage their most precious resource: their people.

Sharifa has worked in a variety of companies, ranging from nonprofit, consulting, professional service organizations, government contractors, and educational institutions. Her experience is truly international as she has worked in Korea, Canada, and the United States.

Besides her extensive work experience in companies both large and small, Sharifa has earned several certifications in human resources, including PHR (Professional in Human Resources) and CHRL (Certified Human Resources Leader). She is also a SHRM-CP (professional certified by the Society for Human Resources Management). Sharifa is a past president of her local SHRM chapter.

“Getting the right people and keeping them – it can seem like a never-ending process that takes focus from the company’s strategic objectives,” says Sharifa. “I’m interested in helping clients solve their HR problems so everyone – management and staff – can get on with their REAL jobs.”

“Sometimes HR issues appear to be ‘people’ problems – and just as people are different, each HR issue looks different, making it hard for managers and executives to cope. I help my clients to take that step back and see the process issues that are the real root of the problem,” says Sharifa.

Sharifa lives in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., with her husband and twin daughters.
