People Leadership, Embedded Early.
A Fractional Chief People Officer embedded alongside your founding team.
Early people decisions compound fast.
We embed early so they compound in your favor.
We partner with founders to own hiring, people strategy, and talent infrastructure during the zero-to-scale phase — when mistakes are hardest to unwind and most expensive to fix.
Senior people leadership — without hiring a full-time executive before the company is ready for one.
What We Own.
Hiring.
We own recruiting end to end — from role definition through close.
The focus:
Identifying people with the skills and judgment required at this stage
Aligning talent to the company’s product, direction, and growth plan
Articulating the product, mission, and upside to attract the right people
People & Leadership Strategy.
We own team structure, decision ownership, and performance standards as the company grows.
The focus:
Defining roles, responsibilities, and decision ownership as the team grows
Setting clear expectations and performance standards
Establishing leadership foundations that scale without constant restructuring
Talent Infrastructure.
We build the systems that allow growth without friction.
The focus:
Hiring and onboarding frameworks that scale beyond the first few hires
Performance and feedback mechanisms that run without constant intervention
Operating values embedded into hiring, feedback, and performance processes
What This Enables.
Fast, strong early hires.
Clear leadership standards.
Clean ownership across the org — who owns what, and where decisions sit.
Systems that support growth instead of slowing it down.
Fewer false starts — talent joins, ramps, and stays.
