About Mike Kipphorn

Mike Kipphorn is the operational backbone of The Wilkinson Firm. As Managing Partner and HR Director of Strategy & Implementation, he ensures every TWF engagement translates from diagnostic insight into functioning workforce infrastructure.

Before TWF, Mike built and led HR departments across industries — including Director of Human Resources at Heller Capital and operational leadership roles at Four Seasons Produce and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. He brings the process discipline of enterprise HR to organizations that have never had access to it.

At TWF, Mike owns the implementation methodology. When a client moves from The Workup™ into a TWF Signature Program™, Mike is the person who ensures scope alignment, milestone sequencing, and deliverable quality. He is the bridge between the diagnostic and the build.

His PHR certification from the HR Certification Institute reflects a commitment to standards-based practice. His leadership style — calm authority paired with relentless follow-through — is the reason TWF's enterprise clients trust the firm with multi-site, multi-state engagements.

“Implementation is where most HR consulting breaks. We don't let it break.”
— Mike Kipphorn, PHR
