About Gombos Group
Gombos Group is a woman-owned consulting firm specializing in compensation, total rewards, and workforce advisory services for organizations navigating complex people challenges. We partner with private and public-sector entities, mission-driven organizations, and highly competitive industries to design compensation programs that are practical, transparent, and defensible—built to withstand leadership, employee, and external scrutiny.
Founded in 2022, Gombos Group brings decades of combined experience across compensation strategy, job architecture, people analytics, and HR leadership. Our work spans multiple industries, including not-for-profit, start-ups, government contracting, life sciences, technology, healthcare, hospitality, higher education, and law firms with clients ranging from emerging organizations to large, multi-million-dollar enterprises. Many operate in environments where governance, affordability, and accountability are just as important as market competitiveness.

Our Philosophy and Approach
Gombos Group operates as a strategic business partner and not a transactional vendor. We take the time to understand each organization’s mission, operating context, workforce dynamics, and labor market pressures, so recommendations are grounded in reality and aligned to how decisions are made.
Our Team
Gombos Group is powered by seasoned HR and compensation professionals, including former Chief People Officers, VPs of HR, compensation leaders, HR practitioners, people analytics experts, talent development specialists, and talent acquisition professionals. This allows us to scale expertise to match the needs of each engagement while maintaining senior oversight, continuity, and accountability.
Gombos Group provides integrated advisory and implementation support across total rewards and HR strategy. We partner with organizations through fractional and targeted project-based engagements, delivering scalable, practical solutions aligned to business priorities.
