OutSolve's Beth Montgomery Named a 2026 Women Leader in Consulting

Beth Montgomery has been named an Industry Specialization Leader in Consulting Magazine's 2026 Women Leaders in Consulting Awards. The honor recognizes women across the consulting industry who have distinguished themselves through deep subject-matter expertise, client impact, and leadership within their practice areas. For Beth, it's a well-earned recognition of years spent helping employers navigate an increasingly complex HR compliance landscape.

This award recognizes Beth’s 25+ years' experience in all aspects of HR compliance including training, auditing, and reporting. She currently serves as Sr. Director of Operations and Team Lead at OutSolve, consulting her clients annually on recruiting management, I-9 employment verification, and merit-based employment. Prior to becoming a consultant at OutSolve, Beth worked as an HR Director at a major healthcare company overseeing affirmative action plans and non-discrimination programs. This blend of consulting experience and firsthand, inside-the-organization experience is what shapes her approach today: pairing rigorous regulatory guidance with practical understanding of the operational realities her clients navigate every day.

Beth's approach to consulting has always centered on one principle: compliance shouldn't be a source of confusion for employers. Throughout her career, she has helped organizations understand what's required of them and, more importantly, how to meet those requirements without disrupting the day-to-day realities of running a business.

That approach has made her a trusted advisor to clients navigating quickly changing federal, state, and local reporting obligations. As one client put it:

"Beth has an incredible ability to take something that feels overwhelming and make it manageable. She doesn't just tell you what the regulation says—she tells you what it means for your organization."

Industry recognition often follows technical excellence, but Beth's clients consistently point to something beyond her expertise: her partnership. Another client shared:

"What sets Beth apart is that she treats our compliance challenges like they're her own. She's proactive, she's clear, and she's always thinking two steps ahead of the next regulatory change."

That focus on sustainable, long-term solutions—rather than one-time fixes—has become a hallmark of Beth's consulting style and a key reason her clients return to her year after year.
