Building the People Foundation Your Company Needs
When your company has outgrown its HR infrastructure — I come in, assess what's broken, and build the people foundation that should have been there from the start.
14+ years building People systems from Fortune 500 to startup — including Nike and fast-moving tech companies.
Strong HR and people practices don’t happen by accident — they’re built intentionally.
I start by understanding how your organization operates today — where structure is missing, where processes aren’t working, and what is truly needed to support your company’s growth. Then I help build what works: a clear roadmap, a stronger people infrastructure, or ongoing fractional leadership to ensure a successful People function.
The goal is always the same: an organization that runs with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
My Approach
I work with only 1–3 clients at a time — intentionally.
When we work together, I partner closely with leadership to build and strengthen the people foundation your organization needs to support its next stage of growth.
How Companies Typically Work With Me
Fractional Head of People
When your company needs senior HR leadership, but you’re not ready to hire it full-time.
Ongoing strategic and operational HR leadership for organizations that need senior People expertise but aren’t ready to hire a full-time Head of People.
People Systems & Structure
When your HR processes need real structure as the company grows.
Building the core systems that support a growing team — including onboarding processes, compensation structures, job frameworks, and the HR processes that keep everything running smoothly.
Organizational Clarity
When growth or change requires a realignment of structure and leadership.
Helping leadership teams realign departments, roles, responsibilities — and bring clarity to how decisions are made — as the organization grows or goes through major change.
Get in Touch
You don't need a fully formed plan to reach out — just a sense that something in how your organization manages people isn't working anymore.
Let's figure out together whether I'm the right fit.
FAQ
-
Usually when growth starts creating friction around how people are managed — inconsistent onboarding, compensation decisions made case by case, unclear roles, or HR processes that were never intentionally designed. My role is to help you build the structure and systems that support the next stage of growth.
-
My focus is on building the structure and systems that support a growing organization — things like HR assessments, organizational design, compensation frameworks, onboarding processes, and HR systems.
I don't typically handle recruiting, employee relations, or compliance work, though I can help advise and design the processes that support those areas.
-
Yes — the majority of my work is with software and technology companies between 20 and 200 employees. The people challenges at high-growth tech companies are specific: distributed teams, international hires, fast scaling that outpaces HR infrastructure, and founders who are building a people function for the first time. That's the environment I know best and where I do my best work.
-
Yes. I’ve built HR systems and processes for organizations with distributed and international teams. Much of that work involved designing structures that work across locations, time zones, and the country-specific nuances that come with international teams.
Strong people infrastructure matters even more when teams aren't all in the same room.
-
Most engagements are either project-based or an ongoing retainer, depending on the needs of the company. I also offer a fixed-price First Hire Package for founders preparing to hire their first employee.
Rates start at $125/hour, depending on the scope of the work.

Start with a free intro call. We'll talk through where your organization is today, what's not working, and whether there's a fit. If there is, I'll outline what an engagement could look like and we'll go from there.
