When You Need a Fractional People Partner

You're scaling fast and your informal people approach isn't keeping up with your growth.

You're between hires and need strategic people leadership during a transition period.

You're preparing for funding and investors are asking tough questions about your team structure.

You're facing people challenges that are bigger than your current team can handle.

You want senior expertise without the overhead of a full-time CPO or HR Director.

What We Build Together

Strategic People Leadership

We sit at your leadership table, not in the corner sorting admin. Your fractional people partner becomes part of your exec team, contributing to business strategy through a people lens.

• People strategy aligned with business goals — not HR for HR's sake

• Leadership team coaching on people decisions and team dynamics

• Board-level people reporting that investors and stakeholders trust

• Due diligence support for funding rounds and acquisition prep

Hands-On Execution

Strategy without execution is just expensive advice. We roll up our sleeves and get things done.

• Senior hiring and leadership recruitment — from job design to offer negotiation

• Org design and role clarity — who does what, reports to whom, and why

• Performance and retention systems that actually improve outcomes

• Compensation and equity frameworks that attract and retain the right people

Growth-Stage Expertise

Your people challenges aren't the same as everyone else's. We understand what works at 10 people versus 50 versus 100.

• Startup to scale-up transitions — professionalising without losing your culture

• International expansion support — hiring globally while staying compliant

• Culture architecture that scales with your business, not against it

• Change management for restructures, acquisitions, or strategic pivots
