Bio
Murray Hugel, P.Eng
I’ve come to know Gary as a trusted advisor, mentor and business strategist in my role at TKMS. He helped me expand our operations team with competent and well vetted employees during a period of high growth. His insights into complex HR situations is exceptional. What sets Gary apart from others is his ability to work with all levels of diverse staff, from shop floor personnel to management. He has a real talent for getting to the root cause of issues and conflict and quickly finding workable solutions. I’d highly recommend Gary for any HR consulting roles, especially those that require a high degree of competency and experience.

I’ve come to know Gary as a trusted advisor and business strategist. I count on him to cut through the bullshit and tell it like it is. He has a keen eye for assessing talent and his insights into personnel and complex situations are generally spot on. His flexible demeanor works well for relating to staff at all levels from the executive office to the front lines. I’d highly recommend Gary for any HR consulting roles.

2010 - 2013
This was an invaluable period in leveraging his corporate experience, blending business with family relationships and an entirely new world of entrepreneurship and franchise operations. Grew the franchise to $1 million in revenue. He left this activity in his wife’s capable hands in 2013, where it continues to operate today, but that interim experience became the inspiration for HC2, his own return venture that launched in 2013. It was during this three-year stint from the corporate HR world that he couldn’t help but begin blending in the operational realities of entrepreneurship into his thinking. The result inspiring HC2advantage which focuses on the ‘people’ side of business, but from an operational perspective. Show less
