Fractional CHRO | People & Systems Strategy for Scaling Founders & CEOs | Turning Growth Chaos into Clarity
About
Founders and CEOs call me when their business is scaling, merging, or facing complex people challenges.
As a Fractional CHRO and Executive HR Consultant, I design and implement the people and systems strategy that supports growth, strengthens leadership, and mitigates risk.
HR isn’t everyone’s cup of tea—it’s complex, high-stakes, and often the last thing founders want to deal with.
That’s where I come in: bringing clarity, structure, and strategy so you can scale with confidence.
With 25 years in HR leadership (SPHR, SHRM-SCP), I help companies align people strategy with business goals—bringing stability and decisive action to moments of rapid change.
How I help:
• Scale teams and operations with clarity
• Navigate mergers, acquisitions & restructuring
• Reduce legal and compliance risk
• Build cultures that attract and retain top talent
• Strengthen leadership and executive alignment
When growth exposes cracks in your people systems, I’m the strategic partner who helps you fix them—fast and effectively.

The Conscious HR Leader
Mar 2020 – Present(6 yrs 2 mos)
As a Fractional CHRO, I partner with founders and CEOs to deliver executive-level HR strategy — without the overhead, drama, or dusty handbooks. I focus on: • Scaling teams — building structure and leadership capacity so growth doesn’t turn into chaos • Reducing legal and business risk — aligning policies and practices to protect the business (and your sleep) • Building and repairing culture — creating workplaces people want to join, stay in, and brag about • Coaching and leadership development — helping managers grow into confident, scalable leaders • Advisory support in transitions — reorgs, layoffs, and high-stakes decisions with clarity and care With 25+ years of HR leadership (SPHR, SHRM-SCP), I bring strategic clarity, legal fluency, and emotional intelligence to the moments that matter most. I make the hard moments feel more human — and easier to lead.
