Senior HR and Recruitment professional (since 2010, CIPD member) specialising in People leadership for SMEs. I've built HR functions from scratch - from zero infrastructure to a functioning People function supporting 100+ employees - and I understand first-hand the specific pressures fast-growth, investor-facing tech companies put on culture: thin management layers, founder-led decision-making, and a tendency for people to become an afterthought once growth or funding takes priority. I help founders and CEOs with 10–150-employees fix that before it costs them their best people - building trust-based culture, sound HR infrastructure, and confident people management, without the cost of a full-time senior hire. Where I add value: • Fractional People Director / Head of People support • Culture and engagement diagnostics • Employee relations case work (UK employment law) • HR policy and handbook development • Manager coaching and capability building • Exit interviews and offboarding process design • Post-acquisition people integration Let's talk about what your people function needs at this stage of growth.
