Nathan D.
Fractional CHRO / Business Partner / Career Consultant
I’m a fractional CHRO and strategic business partner helping startups and scaling companies build compliant, high-performing people systems that grow with the business. I work closely with founders and leadership teams to translate strategy into practical HR execution, extending from workforce design, talent acquisition, performance, compensation, payroll, and risk management. With executive-level HR leadership experience across high-growth, remote, and multi-state environments, I bring a commercial, operator mindset, not just HR theory. I specialize in creating scalable frameworks, coaching leaders, strengthening culture, and implementing data-driven, tech-enabled solutions that improve productivity, retention, and decision-making. I’m best suited to organizations that need senior-level people leadership without the overhead of a full-time CHRO and value a trusted advisor who can balance compliance, growth, and culture while moving fast. It would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to learn more about your business so we can solve your challenges together in a way that produces happier customers and promotes positive bottom-line results. Schedule a time with me when you are ready to discuss your next initiatives. Areas of expertise include: ♦ Strategic Planning and Implementation ♦ Human Resource Management / People Operations ♦ Employment Law / Workplace Investigations ♦ Digital Transformation ♦ Business Process Design and Optimization ♦ Policy Design ♦ HR Information Systems ♦ People Analytics / KPIs ♦ Talent Acquisition / Volunteer Recruitment ♦ Payroll & Benefits ♦ Compensation Structures ♦ Project/Programs Management (Agile) ♦ Succession Planning ♦ Performance Appraisal Process ♦ Staff Training & Development
