Fractional HR leadership for growing organizations — and independent workplace investigations when something serious happens. Scoped to what you actually need, on retainer or project by project.
15+ years across tech, healthcare, public sector, and nonprofits · Former Senior HR Partner, Unity (Americas)
Four core engagements, each scoped to your situation and handled with the discretion it requires.
Experienced HR leadership without a full-time hire. Typically an intensive setup phase — audit, policy, compliance — then a lighter retainer for employee relations, manager coaching, and day-to-day HR. Best fit: organizations of 10–150 that are scaling or restructuring.
Independent, impartial fact-finding into harassment, discrimination, bullying, and executive misconduct. For when internal HR has a conflict, the complaint involves senior leadership, or the process has to hold up to scrutiny. Reports written for HR, boards, and legal counsel.
Most organizations already use AI in hiring and HR decisions faster than they govern it. Bias audits, use policies, and human-oversight frameworks that get ahead of real legal exposure — grounded in employment and human rights law.
Discreet research on individuals and organizations for hiring, partnership, and acquisition decisions. Employment verification, reference and history review, and pre-acquisition diligence that surfaces what a resume doesn't.
The value of an independent practitioner is that there's no stake in the outcome, no existing relationship with the parties, and no internal pressure shaping the conclusion.
All parties heard, the process documented, findings based on evidence — not assumption.
Confidential by nature. Information goes where the work requires and nowhere else.
No organizational allegiance, no preferred outcome. The work is the work.
Documented to withstand legal, regulatory, and board-level review.
Scope varies by organization size and complexity. Every project is quoted in writing before any work begins.
Not sure which you need? That's a fine place to start — book a call and we'll scope it together.
