HR Consulting Services.
When people issues go unaddressed, they don't stay still. They grow, they spread and eventually they land on your desk at the worst possible moment. I work with entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs, COOs and in-house HR leaders across a range of sectors - manufacturing, construction, logistics, professional services, nonprofits, technology and growth-stage startups - and occasionally with government contractors where the fit is right.
Whether you're a business owner bringing in senior HR thinking for the first time, or an HR leader who needs experienced support for a specific piece of work, you need someone who has sat at the executive table, navigated complex change, and knows what good looks like. Someone who can also roll up their sleeves when that's what's needed.
Three ways to work with me. Being at the table before there's a problem to solve, not just after - that's the part I like best.
Senior HR leadership, embedded in your team.
Ongoing senior HR partnership for growing businesses that need someone at the leadership table for the strategic and people decisions that matter - but aren't ready for a full-time hire yet.
Businesses that have outgrown informal people management. You need consistent senior HR thinking as part of the leadership team, not just when something goes wrong.
Monthly retainer from $4,000/month. Minimum 12-week partnership. Scoped to your size, hours, and specific needs.
- Strategy, organizational design, and change leadership
- People decisions and executive advisory
- Building HR capability alongside your existing team
- Leadership team development and Insights Discovery facilitation
- Ongoing employee relations support
Same-week senior HR guidance when it can't wait.
For businesses with a live people situation who need experienced judgment now - a difficult conversation, an unexpected resignation, a sensitive investigation, or a second opinion on an employment decision.
You've got a specific situation on your desk that needs experienced HR thinking - and you'd rather talk it through with someone senior than figure it out alone.
No retainer required. This is priced after our first conversation. Billed only for the hours you use.
- Complex employee relations and difficult conversations
- Sensitive workplace investigations
- Coaching managers through live situations
- Second opinions on employment decisions
- Urgent compliance questions
Scoped, fixed-fee work with clear deliverables.
For businesses with a specific piece of HR work to build or fix - and a preference for scoping it as a discrete project with a fixed fee, a clear timeline, and defined outputs.
You know what you need done and you want it done well, once. Not an ongoing arrangement - a specific piece of work with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Fixed fee, scoped together after our first conversation. Priced by scope, complexity, and timeline.
- Employee handbook development
- HR function design and operating model
- HR file and compliance audits
- Leadership team development programs (including Insights Discovery)
- Team building and team effectiveness sessions
- Manager coaching programs
- Restructuring and organizational change support
- M&A HR due diligence and integration planning (see below)
Best suited to growing businesses that:
- Have 30+ employees or are growing rapidly
- Already have payroll and day-to-day HR basics in place
- Need strategic HR guidance rather than admin support
- Want to strengthen leadership capability and manager confidence
- Are navigating growth, organizational change, restructures, acquisitions, or increasingly complex employee or labor relations
- Value practical, commercially focused advice
If your business is smaller than this and you'd like some help, I'd still love to hear from you. I support founders and growing businesses with HR compliance, employee relations, recruitment, leadership advice, and one-off projects. If we're not the right fit, I'll happily point you in the right direction.
M&A and major transitions.
I work with owners, investors and advisers who are navigating major transitions - mergers, acquisitions, integrations and restructurings. My focus is simple: protecting deal value by understanding how leadership, culture and organizational design will behave under pressure.
Available for pre-deal HR due diligence, integration planning, and post-close people integration - as a discrete engagement or embedded advisor to the leadership team.
