Fractional CHRO for startups, POSH, Org Dev Coach, Layoff Counsel, ESG

Your success is my goal - Let’s build something remarkable together. Your success is my goal mantra has worked for me each time. If you’re a founder or CEO who believes people are the real moat (and you’d rather partner deeply with one experienced HR leader than cycle through junior recruits or expensive traditional firms), let’s talk. Clients consistently say (Upwork 5.0/LinkedIn recommendations) that my responsiveness, depth of involvement, and ability to raise the bar from “good” to “great” set me apart. Fractional CHRO & Leadership Coach for Startups and Scale-ups I partner with founders and leadership teams of small to mid-sized companies (typically 10–250 people) as a fractional or interim Chief HR Officer. My focus is simple: build lightweight, scalable people systems that support rapid growth without unnecessary bureaucracy. I work iteratively and in close collaboration with you—whether that’s designing a hiring engine that actually attracts the right talent, creating performance frameworks that people believe in, digitizing HR processes, or putting the right policies and culture foundations in place. Everything is tailored to your stage, funding reality, and strategic goals. What sets this apart from traditional consulting is the partnership model: I become an extension of your team (usually remote, sometimes on-site for key moments), available on Slack/Zoom when you need me, and always thinking several moves ahead on people and culture. Core areas where I help most 1. Organizational design & scaling (structure, roles, compensation philosophy) 2. Talent strategy & hiring systems (JD frameworks, interview training, employer branding on a budget) 3. Performance management that actually drives growth (OKRs, calibration, feedback culture) 4. HR operations & digitization (tools selection, workflows, compliant policies) 5. POSH/IC compliance, employee handbooks, and India/Global payroll nuances 6. Leadership team coaching and culture interventions If you believe great people operations should feel like a co-founded function rather than a hired service and if you’d rather have one trusted, responsive HR partner than agencies or junior hires, let’s talk, no decks, just a 30-minute diagnostic call. I only take on a few partners at a time so I can stay deeply involved in your success. Drop me a message if this sounds useful. Background Long years combining big-corporate rigor (Accenture and other global firms) with the last several years serving 40+ startups and scale-ups remotely across India, US, UK, Canada, Australia, and parts of Europe/Africa. Multiple team and individual awards at Accenture; consistent 5-star client feedback on Upwork and LinkedIn for responsiveness and impact. (Additional skills: HR content writing, academic/SME articles, food blogging as a creative outlet.) Accolades Multiple team and individual awards at Accenture | Consistently promoted ahead of curve in corporate roles | 100% 5-star client feedback on Upwork & LinkedIn Leadership & Career Coaching (for founders and senior leaders) – From Surviving to Flourishing I also coach founders and senior leaders from “surviving” to “flourishing” using structured frameworks, 360 assessments, personal branding, and mock interviews/board prep. Separately, I coach high-potential leaders and founders who want to move from “surviving” to “flourishing.” Using structured frameworks (GROW, FUEL, etc.) and 360-style assessments, we systematically close skill and behavior gaps, strengthen personal branding (resume, LinkedIn, narrative), and prepare you for the next level, whether that’s fundraising conversations, board presentations, or your next career leap. Always happy to start with a 30-minute diagnostic call, no deck, no hard sell.
