About Me
Audra Beatty, Founder & CEO
With nearly 15 years of experience as an HR practitioner and leader, I’ve dedicated my career to helping organizations transform their people operations into a competitive advantage. From startups to established companies across a variety industries, I’ve worked with leadership teams to build cultures where employees thrive and businesses grow. My approach is grounded in the belief that HR is about more than policies—it’s about empowering people and aligning their potential with organizational goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve tackled challenges ranging from workforce restructuring to scaling HR operations during rapid growth. I’ve developed talent acquisition strategies that attract top-tier candidates, implemented retention programs that keep employees engaged, and built leadership development initiatives to prepare teams for the future. These experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of how to design HR solutions that drive real results.
​
What truly sets me apart is my hands-on approach. I don’t believe in offering generic advice from behind a desk. Instead, I spend time in the workplace—observing, listening, and engaging with teams. By building relationships face-to-face, I gain the deep insights necessary to craft solutions that truly resonate with your organization’s unique culture and challenges. This personal connection is central to everything I do because I genuinely care about the success of the businesses I partner with.
​
As the founder of E3, my work is rooted in Pittsburgh, a city I’m proud to call home. I’m passionate about supporting local businesses and fostering a thriving business community here. Whether it’s navigating complex people challenges, developing strategic HR plans, or creating a positive workplace culture, I’m committed to helping organizations unlock their full potential.
When I’m not collaborating with clients, you’ll likely find me exploring the outdoors, enjoying Pittsburgh’s vibrant culture, or spending time with my family. I bring this same energy and enthusiasm into every client partnership, striving to create solutions that not only meet immediate needs but also set the foundation for long-term success.

If you’re ready to elevate your people operations and create meaningful change, I’d love to partner with you. Let’s build something exceptional together.
