About Innovative Foundations
Innovative Foundations (IF) is not here to complicate your business. We’re here to build an HR function that actually works. A true resource for real businesses, with real people, doing real growth.
​
IF was built for founders who care deeply about their teams but feel overwhelmed by the how. You’re growing fast. You’re juggling a million things. HR can’t be the ball you drop. That’s where we come in.
Meet Our Founder
I'm Isis Fuentes, the founder of Innovative Foundations. I grew up in a small business (literally mom and pop for me) and I understand what it means to put your heart and soul into making your dream a reality. To build something meaningful from nothing.​
With over 14 years of HR experience, including the last 9 supporting multi-state operations, I help businesses create people-first workplaces that are compliant, scalable, and aligned with their values. My work spans employee relations, compliance, recruiting, and organizational development. I bring calm, clarity, and structure to fast-moving teams navigating real growth.
Who We Are
Innovative Foundations is a boutique HR consulting firm based in Miami, supporting founder-led brands and small-but-growing teams across the U.S.
Led by a seasoned HR professional with over 14 years of experience in employee relations, compliance, recruiting, and organizational strategy. We bring calm, clarity, and expertise to moments that matter.
​
We’ve coached leaders through tough conversations, created handbooks that actually get used, and built people systems that scale alongside fast-moving teams.
​
We don’t offer cookie-cutter advice. We listen, adapt, and partner with you like we’re part of your business. That's because when we’re working together, we are.
What Makes Us Different
We lead with empathy, but we never skip the hard stuff.
We believe documentation is a form of respect.
We tell the truth, we protect your business, and we champion your team.
And we don’t just hand you a checklist. We walk with you through the process.
