Two leaders. One belief: hiring isn’t a talent problem — it’s a system problem. We rebuild the systems behind selection, alignment, and leadership so the right people land in the right roles, at the right time.

The team behind the system.
Most hiring efforts fall short not because of the candidates, but because of the systems behind them. Employ Mint Inc exists to fix that — aligning how leaders are selected, developed, and held to a standard of performance that actually executes.

“She doesn’t fill roles. She builds systems.”
Lisa Thomas has spent over 30 years inside operations — leading supply chain, procurement, and project teams at companies like Toyota, Pfizer, Koch, and TechnipFMC. She’s seen what actually breaks teams: not a lack of talent, but a lack of alignment, clarity, and leadership discipline.
Today, as Founder & CEO of Employ Mint Inc, Lisa helps organizations fix that.
By aligning how leaders are selected, how they’re developed, and what performance really looks like, Lisa helps companies eliminate hiring regret, reduce turnover, and build teams that can actually execute.
She’s also known for connecting the right people at the right level — bringing C-suite leaders together based on their strengths, needs, and shared opportunities. Because the right relationship, at the right time, can change the trajectory of a business.
Her approach combines real operational experience with structured execution — backed by PMI agile and project management certifications as well as leadership development through Crestcom’s L.E.A.D.R. for Life framework.
Lisa also serves as President of the Chattanooga PMI Board and Education Chair for The Manufacturing Forge Alliance, where she works alongside leaders committed to raising the standard of performance across American manufacturing.
She is the host of The 96% Perfect Podcast, where she challenges leaders to rethink how they build teams — and why most hiring efforts fall short.
Lisa works with CEOs, COOs, and CHROs who are done guessing — and ready to build leadership pipelines that deliver real results.

Director of People & Operations · Search Architect · Narrative Strategist
“She doesn’t fill roles. She architects them.”
Adriana Baltazar helps organizations strengthen workforce performance through communication, leadership alignment, and operational clarity.
With a background in journalism and a Master’s in Communication from the University of Houston, Adriana understands that most organizational challenges are not caused by a lack of talent — they are caused by misalignment. When leadership expectations are unclear, communication breaks down, and workforce strategies lack structure, performance suffers long before results show up on a dashboard.
As Director of People & Operations at Employ Mint Inc., Adriana helps build the systems that allow organizations to scale more effectively. Her work focuses on improving communication, strengthening leadership consistency, supporting workforce alignment, and reducing the operational friction that impacts retention and execution.
By combining behavioral analysis, organizational communication, and operational strategy, Adriana helps leadership teams create environments where people can perform at a higher level together. Her approach replaces reactive people decisions with intentional structure — aligning culture, communication, accountability, and performance.
Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, Adriana brings a global perspective and a deep understanding of how communication shapes outcomes across teams, industries, and cultures.
She partners with organizations navigating growth, workforce instability, leadership development, and operational change — helping them build teams that execute, stay, and scale.
Employ Mint Inc. is committed to raising industry standards, improving candidate-employer alignment, and delivering measurable results that consistently exceed expectations.
