Although she was a Chemical Engineer in Brazil, when Danila Rizo Palmieri moved to the U.S. five years ago with her husband, she made the decision to switch career paths and became an Outsourced Human Resources Manager. “I like people and now I love even more to support entrepreneurs, start-ups and small and mid-sized businesses,” she said. “I help them to have their HR strategy in place. I was inspired to do this as I realized there were many Brazilian companies doing business in the U.S. that were in need of a reliable person to support them, help them understand and stay in compliance.”

Now, as CEO of Connect Solutions LLC, Ms. Palmieri helps companies in the U.S. and South America achieve their goals and find success, using her skills in organizational development, change management, integrating management systems and leadership development.

“I'm a very results-driven person, everything I do has to bring results, hard or soft, and has to impact positively the companies I support.,” Ms. Palmieri said. “Problem-solving is also something I love to do. It’s why I became a consultant, to support businesses, help them resolve their issues and grow.” Always keeping ethics and values in mind, Ms. Palmieri sometimes finds it challenging to convince clients how issues must be handled but she is encouraged when they achieve results that she helped bring about.

A board member of the World Trade Center Atlanta and Chair of the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of the Southeast – BACC_SE, Ms. Palmieri continues to work hard helping others achieve success while growing her company. She is looking forward to Connect Solutions one day becoming a reference in HR for international business in the U.S.
