Keyshia Johnson, MHRLR

Founder & Fractional CPO

I’m the founder of Catalyst Rising Consulting (CRC), and after 15+ years of building high-performing teams and shaping people strategy at companies like Meta, DoorDash, Sony PlayStation, and IBM, I knew it was time to bring that same momentum to the businesses and individuals ready to rise to the next level.

At CRC, I partner with scaling companies and career-changers navigating constant change because that’s where transformation happens. I’ve led through hypergrowth, cultural shifts, restructures, acquisitions and leadership evolution. Now, I bring that experience directly to you with solutions-oriented HR leadership and future-focused coaching designed to move you forward.

My approach is rooted in clarity, action, and impact. Whether you're building your first people programs or preparing to scale, I help you lay strong foundations that drive performance, engagement, and resilience. I’m also a proud graduate of Shaw University and Michigan State University…Go Green!

Helping businesses leaders navigate growth with flexible HR expertise and people-first solutions.
