About
Shelley Oberhofer spent the first decade of her career inside GE, PepsiCo, and Google — learning what world-class HR looks like at scale. She then brought that rigor and best-in-class thinking to her own Leadership Coaching practice and a scaling team at Mt Bachelor, the largest ski resort in the Pacific Northwest.
Results have included:
Built people processes for workforces scaling 2–4x
Increased employee engagement scores by 10%
Driven a company-wide performance initiative that reduced low performance by 20%
Led restructurings impacting 1,500+ employees
Managed a $14M program budget
Now she has built a suite of services specifically for scaling organizations. Shelley’s work combines strategic HR leadership with coaching-informed guidance to help organizations build healthy, high-performing teams without losing clarity, culture, or momentum as they grow.
She founded Canter to help companies create more sustainable ways of working — where people and performance can thrive together.
