Sharmaine W.

Hello! I'm a strategic people partner who helps organizations build processes and programs from the ground up. I have 10+ years of experience within early-stage technology companies and nonprofits creating impactful programs across the entire employee lifecycle to help organizations and talent reach their full potential. I've developed and implemented numerous programs for onboarding, performance management, talent development, as well as diversity and inclusion which all have led to improved employee satisfaction and engagement. In addition to building programs, I have experience being an HR generalist (SPHR) and am able to step in for general administrative needs such as data analysis, benefits, payroll, employee relations issues, etc. If you're in need of someone to bounce ideas off of, help to start your HR function, or improve a process, look no further. I hope we get a chance to work together and I look forward to helping your organization thrive!
