About Viva People

After years inside the workforce technology and PEO industry, one thing became impossible to ignore: the market became crowded, confusing, and increasingly difficult for businesses to navigate.
More vendors entered the space, more systems began overlapping, and more pressure was placed on companies to make fast decisions without fully understanding how those decisions would impact their operations long-term.

I sat in countless conversations where companies were comparing systems that were built for completely different workforce models, investing in platforms that didn’t truly fit their operations, and carrying the weight of decisions that would affect payroll, compliance, reporting, onboarding, and scalability for years to come.

Thats why Viva People was created. We believe businesses deserve clear, unbiased guidance when making workforce infrastructure decisions.
We don’t take commissions or vendor incentives
because our focus is staying aligned to the client not the sale.

Our role is simple: help businesses cut through the noise, understand what actually fits their operations, and make workforce decisions with more clarity, strategy, and confidence.

Finally, someone in your corner.

Meet the Executive Team

We’re not just operators—we’re advocates.
Because we’ve been inside the process, and we know where it fails. Now we use that insight to protect you on the outside.

Lizzy Beltran
Founder & CEO

Across her corporate career, Lizzy quickly became a top performer across insurance, HCM, and PEO—recognized not only for her results, but for her ability to lead where others couldn’t. She became a high-demand bilingual consultant in her market, serving as the go-to advisor for Spanish-speaking clients, trusted to translate, guide, and oversee critical conversations.

That demand didn’t just fill a gap—it expanded her reach. Lizzy was called on to support opportunities beyond her immediate market, opening the door to cross-market and international-level exposure beyond the border.

A relentless negotiator, shark in business and a trusted advocate at heart—she ensures every decision is made with precision, integrity, and her clients’ best interest at the center.

Divine McMahon
VP Strategy & Operations

Divine is a systems-driven leader known for her efficiency, analytical precision, and ability to build structure where others see complexity. Across her corporate career, she consistently performed at a top level—earning recognition for optimizing operations, streamlining processes, and driving measurable results.

Originally from Hawaii, Divine brings a unique perspective shaped by working across diverse markets and geographic regions, allowing her to adapt quickly and operate effectively in a variety of business environments.

Her expertise extends beyond corporate environments, having supported numerous startups in building scalable systems, refining workflows, and establishing strong operational foundations. With a natural strength in analysis and execution, she brings clarity to chaos and ensures businesses operate with intention and efficiency.

“This company might actually be a better fit for a completely different model.”

The challenge was never that vendors were doing something wrong. They were doing what they’re built to do: sell their solution.

Too often, businesses were being guided toward decisions without fully understanding whether the model, system, or operational structure actually fit the way their company worked.

But many times I wanted to pause the conversation and say something simple:
“This company might actually be a better fit for a completely different model.”

Because the businesses making these decisions deserve more than pressure, rushed timelines, and overwhelming sales processes. They deserve clarity, honest guidance, and support from someone focused on what actually makes sense for their operations and long-term growth.

Viva People was created to give businesses that support. Helping companies make workforce decisions with the right strategy, structure, and infrastructure behind them.

Everyone wants your business. We protect it.

 Viva People Workforce Operational Advisory helps businesses move with clarity before decisions are made, stay supported through implementation, and build workforce infrastructure that continues to support operations and growth long after the contract is signed.
