I help founder-led and scaling companies build compensation and HR systems that support growth, protect margins, and reduce risk. With over 25 years of experience in executive search, compensation strategy, and HR advisory, I work directly with founders and leadership teams who need senior-level guidance without hiring a full-time HR executive.

How should we structure incentives as we grow? What is a defensible compensation range for this role? How do we align pay with performance and profitability? Fractional HR & Growth Advisory **Multi-state compliance and wage/hour guidance **Performance management structure **Organizational design and role clarity **Policy development and risk mitigation **Hiring strategy and workforce planning Clients typically engage me when: **They are growing quickly and need structure **Compensation decisions are becoming more complex **They want senior HR guidance without adding executive overhead **They need clarity before funding, expansion, or scaling My approach is practical, data-driven, and business-focused. I understand that every compensation decision impacts margin, retention, and long-term sustainability. Available for project-based work or ongoing advisory relationships.

I’ve consistently grown revenue by leading and working alongside sales teams, designing scalable processes, developing high-performing people, and optimizing operations from the ground up.

Reduced operational expenditures by over $200,000 in the first two months by eliminating inefficiencies in vendor contracts, tooling, and redundant workflows. Increased annual revenue by $1,000,000 within six months by streamlining production flows and optimizing resource allocation in an AI model business. Built scalable processes and documentation, then successfully transitioned day-to-day execution to internal teams, allowing me to move on to the next high-impact project. Training, Coaching & Systems Building Developed and delivered training content, SOPs, sales playbooks, and onboarding programs that enable teams to close more efficiently and consistently. Transitioned a company from external dependency to full internal capacity by hiring, training, and documenting all core sales and operational processes.
