Founder
Sophia Pettey
Founder & Principal Consultant
GOHRSolutions was founded with a clear mission: to empower organizations through tailored, project-based HR services that drive real results. Based in the Upstate of South Carolina, Sophia brings a unique combination of legal expertise and business acumen to every engagement — a JD from the University of Mississippi School of Law, an LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law from the University of Illinois Chicago, and an MBA from the University of the People.
From strategic planning and compliance audits to process optimization, GOHRSolutions provides the specialized support organizations need — without the overhead of a full-time hire. Whether you're aiming to streamline operations, enhance employee engagement, or navigate complex HR challenges, every solution is designed to help you unlock your organization's full potential.
When she's not working, you'll find Sophia on the sidelines of her son's soccer games, swimming laps, or travelling with her pilot husband. A military spouse, she shares her home with two fur babies, Zeus and McKinley.
“I'm dedicated to helping organizations build stronger foundations through strategic, people-centered HR solutions.”

HR Business Partner
Karen Paige Landreth
Human Resources Business Partner & Recruiter
Based in Greenville, South Carolina, Karen brings more than two decades of HR and recruiting expertise to GOHRSolutions. She spent nearly 15 years with Direct Hire Recruiters building search pipelines and placing talent across industries, then 13 years managing operations at Marsh McLennan — and she's brought that range of experience with her to every client engagement.
Today she partners with our clients as a Human Resources Business Partner and Recruiter, listening carefully, working hard, and never losing sight of the human on the other side of every hire.
When she's off the clock, Karen is usually outdoors — on a trail, on the tennis court, or hanging out at home with her pup, Daisy Mae.
“Every hire is a chance to change someone's life. My job is to listen well, work hard, and never forget the human on the other side of the résumé.”
