The LAB in Pq LAB was created when our co-founders Loren, Adam, and Brian grew tired of being apart. Their paths originally converged during their tenures at Ogilvy and immediately the three of them knew that their unique skills could be used for great things.
In 2019, after years of talk, People Intelligence LAB became a reality. Between our combined 55+ years of experience, Pq LAB has experience in every aspect of Human Resources. We’re based in New York and Los Angeles but can easily travel to you.
While our sweet spot is in helping start ups and mid size companies, we are excited to partner with anyone to build or strengthen a strong people and talent foundation through a Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) lens.
Testimonials
“I’ve worked with the Pq LAB team for several years both as a colleagues and later as advisors helping us on HR matters with our company, Episode Four. Their work with us was swift, well thought out and spot on to our needs. I highly recommend the Pq LAB team (Loren, Adam, Brian) for all aspects of people matters and will continue to call on them as our company grows.”
“Working with Pq LAB was a pleasure. We were very excited to start building out an HR platform and they delivered exactly what we need for a fast growing business like ours. ”
“I trust Pq LAB implicitly! They have provided us with sound and strategic counsel across DE&I, Leadership Development and Talent Management. Pq LAB not only has a deep understanding of our industry and business, but also knows how to connect with executives and managers, quickly becoming a trusted consultant to our team.”
“PQLab recently ran a DEI workshop for our team. Of all the trainings we’ve offered over the years, this one was the highest rated by our teams. Loren led with compassion, knowledge and expertise while creating a space where real talk could happen. Highly recommend.”
