The experience behind the advisory.
Kody Barnett is a business advisor and organizational strategist with deep expertise across strategy, operations, technology, people leadership, and organizational development.
His background spans behavioral health organizations, industrial manufacturing (Nordson Measurement & Control Solutions), enterprise retail (Whole Foods), and HR technology — giving him a rare, ground-level view of how organizations actually operate across industries, and where they break down under pressure.
"I founded Barnett Advisory to give growing businesses and nonprofits access to the kind of senior, cross-functional advisory that was previously available only to large organizations with the budget to match."
He holds PHR and SHRM-CP credentials and brings that rigor to every people, compliance, and HR engagement — but his real edge is knowing how the work actually gets done on the ground.

Strategy, ops, people, tech — I connect what most advisors keep separate.
Every recommendation is built to hold up as you scale — not just check a box.
