For Founders and Growing Teams
HR built right, before it becomes a problem.
You've hired past the point where things run on trust and good intentions. I come in as your fractional HR partner and build the foundations, the systems, and the hiring process a growing company needs. Ten years inside HR, now inside your business.
You're growing faster than your HR.
You started with a handful of people and it worked. Now you've got a team, and the cracks are showing. Offers going out with no real structure behind them. No contracts you feel good about. Onboarding that depends on whoever has time that week. Questions about performance and pay you're not sure how to answer.
You don't need a full HR department yet. You need someone who's built this before to come in and set it up properly.
That's what I do.
What I do
How I help.
HR Foundations
I build the base a growing company needs. Employment contracts, policies, an employee handbook, onboarding, and the compliance pieces that protect you as you scale. This is the exact work I led at Loop Energy, where I built the HR foundations from the ground up. If you're setting HR up for the first time, start here.
HR Systems and Processes
The operating rhythm of a real People function. Performance reviews, onboarding and offboarding, compensation structure, and the day-to-day processes that keep a growing team running without you holding it all in your head. For companies that have people but no system underneath them.
Recruitment
Hands-on hiring, done well. I source, screen, and run the full process for the roles you need to fill. I've sat on the hiring side for a decade, so I know what a strong process looks like and how good candidates decide. For teams that need to hire without a full-time recruiter on payroll.
Engagements
Ways to work with me.
Every company's at a different point, so I keep it simple. Three ways in:
One clear outcome with a defined start and finish. Like building your HR foundations in 90 days.
A set number of hours each month, ongoing. Your HR partner without the full-time hire.
Per role, or a retainer when you're hiring for several at once.
Why me
Why founders bring me in.
I spent 10 years inside HR and People and Culture across tech, retail, cleantech, consumer goods, and mining tech. I was in the room when hiring decisions were made, when compensation was set, and when leadership decided who was ready to grow.
I've built HR from nothing inside a scaling company, and I've hired across two countries. So when I set up your foundations or run a search, it's built on what actually works inside a real business, not a template pulled off a shelf.
I also coach professionals through their own careers, which means I understand both sides of the table. That perspective shows up in how I help you hire and keep good people.
