Our Story
Dana Schmidt, Founder & CEO
HRamp Up was founded in 2021 by Dana Schmidt in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dana earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and HR, an MBA and three esteemed HR certifications, the SPHR, CCP and SHRM-SCP. He passionately wanted the types of organizations HRamp Up now serves to reach heightened levels of success. Dana recognized that HR practitioners had an incredible opportunity to play a more active role in the achievement of this success by becoming more credible and effective thought partners.
Throughout his career, Dana witnessed so many HR practitioners providing solutions that were heavily policy/compliance based, predictable and often repeated under very different scenarios. These “carbon copy” solutions frequently missed the mark on meeting business objectives, didn’t significantly increase employee engagement or achieve long-lasting results.
With his extensive HR, strategic, financial and operational knowledge acquired over two decades, Dana set out to significantly evolve the traditional HR business partner model. Throughout the years, he piloted various methods. After a series of trials and errors, Dana successfully executed on his vision by, in part, applying a broader, deeper and integrated business perspective to the model. Today, HRamp Up provides holistic, expert, business results-driven HR support to small/mid-sized businesses and non-profit clients across the country.
