OUR STORY
SURGE HR+ is a full-service national consulting firm specializing in Human Resources, Operations, and Sales Management solutions. We serve as a strategic partner, not a vendor, helping organizations build the people, leadership, and infrastructure required to grow responsibly and perform at their highest level.
The firm was born from more than 27 years of executive leadership and a truth witnessed repeatedly: when systems are disconnected, outdated, or poorly designed, people carry the weight. Employees experience burnout and uncertainty. Leaders become overwhelmed. Organizations lose focus, momentum, and trust. We believed people deserved better and organizations could do better, so we built something better.
Founded by a seasoned executive who has advised leaders, boards, and organizations nationwide, SURGE HR+ steps into the complexity with our Client Partners. We ask difficult questions, offer honest counsel, and align people, culture, operations, and revenue with solutions that reflect how each organization truly works.
As a minority woman-owned and managed firm with deep nonprofit roots, we understand what it means to serve a mission while navigating limited capacity and growing expectations. We bring executive-level expertise, practical strategy, and genuine care to organizations committed to their people, their purpose, and the communities depending on them.
Our commitment is simple: People First, Always. We exist to strengthen the organizations that strengthen others, helping leaders protect their people, build what is missing, and create impact that reaches far beyond a single engagement.
This is SURGE HR+. Let's build together.
Meet the Founder
Tamika S. Harold is a nationally recognized executive and strategic advisor with nearly three decades of experience across human resources, human services, organizational development, and executive sales management. Her career is grounded in a core belief: when the right people systems are in place, organizations do not just function…they SURGE.
Before launching Surge HR Plus, Tamika served as a Senior Executive at one of the nation’s leading HR consulting firms dedicated to the nonprofit sector. Prior to that, she served as an HR Business Leader for the country’s largest Healthcare organization. Tamika has led national business development and strategic partnerships, built trusted client relationships, drove organizational growth, and advised executives navigating complex people and operational challenges.
A true scholar-practitioner, Tamika holds a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), an MBA with a concentration in Healthcare Management (MBA-HCM), and a Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM). Her combination of academic rigor and executive leadership allows her to see organizations strategically and systemically, then translate that insight into meaningful, lasting change.
What sets Tamika apart is how she shows up. She leads with warmth and directness, listens deeply before advising, and brings the same level of care to a 10-person community nonprofit as she does to a national enterprise. She believes every organization deserves access to exceptional HR, business development, and operational leadership. That belief is the heart of Surge HR Plus.
We're not here to follow trends, we're here to build something timeless. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and heart, we help ideas come to life.
