Fractional People Operations leadership
For Series A/B founders
when early people decisions stop scaling.
I embed as a hands-on operator to fix hiring, org design, and leadership breakdowns
before they hit revenue, runway, or execution speed.
No decks. No theory. Just real fixes, fast.
Where Growth Starts to Break
At Series A and B, the company outgrows the people systems that got it this far.
Hiring slows execution instead of accelerating it. Leaders struggle to scale themselves. Teams lose clarity. Decision-making gets noisy. Revenue momentum starts to wobble, not because the product is wrong, but because the organization can’t keep up.
This is the moment where most founders either:
Hire too junior and stay stuck
Hire too senior and overbuild
Or wait too long and pay for it later
I partner with founders as a business-first People Ops leader, not a consultant.
That means:
Diagnosing what’s actually broken (fast)
Fixing the highest-impact people problems first
Building only what the company truly needs at this stage
The goal isn’t “best practices.”
The goal is speed, clarity, and results.
what i do
Most People Ops leaders focus on programs.
I focus on leverage.
I bring pattern recognition from building and scaling multiple high-growth startups and advising dozens of founders across stages. I know where things usually break, and how to fix them before they show up in the numbers.
I embed inside the business, partner closely with founders and exec teams, and operate with the same urgency and accountability as the rest of the leadership team.
No fluff. No HR theater.
How I’m Different
Where I Create Leverage
Depending on the company and stage, my work often includes:
Fixing mis-hires and leadership gaps
Designing org structures that scale
Rebuilding hiring so it drives execution
Clarifying ownership, accountability, and decision rights
Supporting founders as they scale themselves
Preventing people issues from becoming legal, PR, or retention disasters
Everything ladders back to revenue, velocity, and runway.
Series A–B founders navigating real scale, not theoretical growth.
Teams where execution breaks before the strategy does.
Companies moving fast, or dealing with the consequences of moving too fast.

A traditional HR leader
Programs, playbooks, or “best practices” without context
This Is a Fit If You Want
A trusted operator who tells you the truth
Clear judgment on what actually matters
Hands-on support that helps you move faster, not slower
