Who we are

Chrysalis Partners is led by founder and CEO, Donna Capodacqua, PhD SPHR, SHRM-SCP. 

Having served businesses in the greater Portland metro area for more than 25 years, and a small business owner for 23 years, Donna has an extensive background. She has worked with multi-million-dollar companies with 300+ employees to small start-ups across a variety of industries and settings, including union environments and non-profit organizations. She has seen it all. 

She knows what infrastructure systems, leadership and talent a company must have in place, but also understands that one-size solutions do not work. Donna offers practical insight and expertise to her clients, guiding them to find the right solutions that are translated into implementable tactics based on their purpose, values, goals and aspirations.
