Tim Barnhart, President

After years of working in government as a personnel management professional, Tim Barnhart founded Federal Management Partners (FMP) in 1990. His goal was to build a HR consulting firm that could fill a missing space in the management consulting marketplace, i.e., transforming the highly regulated business of Federal Human Resources Management into a strategic asset for Federal agencies. 

Mr. Barnhart has over twenty years of HR experience in a broad range of disciplines. He was cited in Michael Hammer's The Reengineering Revolution for his contributions regarding business process reengineering in the Federal environment. He worked for years with the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) to create a new, excepted-service HR system that won Workforce Magazine's 2002 Optimas Award. He has presented at numerous conferences and symposia, and his views on HR in the Federal government are frequently quoted in Government Executive Magazine, and other professional publications.
