Strategic People leadership, without the full-time hire

As a Fractional CHRO, I work closely with founders and leadership teams at key moments of growth. When speed increases, complexity creeps in, and people decisions start carrying more weight.

​

I help companies design clear structures, leadership expectations, and people systems that support scale without adding unnecessary process. From organisational design and goal-setting to leadership development and performance frameworks, my work focuses on turning intent into consistent execution.

​

Whether you’re scaling quickly, navigating change, or building the People function for the first time, I bring calm, experienced leadership — embedded enough to move things forward, and independent enough to tell you what really matters.

Organisational Design & Team Architecture:
I help growing companies design clear structures, roles, and decision-making models that support scale. This includes defining leadership layers, team interfaces, accountability, as well as how priorities and goals are set, owned, and translated into execution — so growth adds focus, not friction.

​

        Key outcomes:

  • Clear ownership and decision rights

  • Reduced bottlenecks and role confusion

  • Teams that scale without constant reorganisation

​

Founder & Leadership Development:

This is not generic coaching. I work as a thinking partner and part-time leadership force, supporting founders and leadership teams where speed starts to outpace clarity.

​

       The work typically combines:

  • 1:1 sparring with founders and senior leaders

  • Leadership team development on decision quality, accountability, and collaboration

  • Targeted interventions where leadership behaviour, not effort, is the constraint


We focus on how leaders think, decide, and lead under pressure, and how strategic intent and goals are translated into day-to-day execution across the organisation.

​

        Key outcomes:

  • Leaders who make clearer, more consistent decisions under uncertainty

  • Stronger leadership team alignment and collective accountability

  • Reduced reliance on founders for operational decision-making

  • Leadership practices that scale performance, not just effort

​

Culture, Values & Ways of Working

I support organisations in translating values from intent into practice. This work focuses on behavioural standards, leadership expectations, and decision norms, especially as companies grow beyond founder-led, relationship-based ways of working.

​

        Key outcomes:

  • Values reflected in everyday leadership and decision-making

  • Clear behavioural expectations across teams and leaders

  • Reduced friction between “early employees” and newer hires

  • A culture that supports performance and trust at scale


Performance & Talent Foundations:

I help companies design lightweight, scalable People Ops foundations. 

This includes onboarding, performance frameworks, career paths, and hiring foundations, all aligned with the organisation’s structure and leadership model.

​​

        Key outcomes:

  • Hiring decisions aligned with organisational readiness

  • Recruitment processes that supports growth

  • Consistent onboarding and performance standards

  • Clear role expectations and success criteria
