Make your people and structure work better together

Strategic people consulting that energizes teams and lights up performance.​
What We Do

Let's look at the big picture -
and the real world path of getting there. ​

​Whether you want to explore a more skill-centric approach to talent,  get help on aligning and prioritizing your HR initiatives, adapting roles and capabilities for a future shaped by AI, or  looking for senior HR partnership and executive coaching – I’ll make sure you get the support and outcomes you need.​

My work sits at the intersection of people strategy, talent management and organizational design - helping HR and business leaders strengthen the connection between people and structure to drive performance.

I believe people perform at their best if the structure around them ‘makes sense’: responsibilities are logical and clear, human behavior is taken into account (not ignored), and people are trusted with accountability to deliver results. ​

Services

Services that get you the outcomes you need

Everything we do is grounded in deep expertise and shaped by your unique context. We work closely with you to design solutions that are scalable, seamlessly fit into your broader HR landscape and are aligned with your business needs. ​

Develop skills frameworks to inform career development, learning, performance, mobility, and/or recruiting​

Design job and career architectures that support growth and mobility​

Common Client Questions:

“We need to understand our workforce better—what skills we have, what we’re missing, and how people can grow here.”​

“We want to enable more internal mobility, but employees say they don’t know what roles are out there or how to grow.”​

“AI is impacting how our people do their jobs, how can we help them adjust and thrive?”​

“We need to understand our workforce better - what skills do we have, what skills we are missing and how we can close that gap.”​

​Integrate and sequence core people programs and initiatives to reduce noise and increase impact​

Common Client Questions:

"We have too many disconnected HR initiatives—can you help us prioritize and align?” ​

“We’re seeing burnout, turnover, or low morale — but we’re not sure why. How do we get to the root cause?”​

“How do we sequence and integrate all our people programs—so they reinforce each other?”​

“How do I make the case for investment in people initiatives when budgets are tight?”​

Organizational Design

Rethink how work is organized, how AI impacts your jobs and structure, clarify roles and decision-making, and ensure your structure enables—not slows—performance.

Design organizational structures that clarify roles, responsibilities, decision-making, and workflows​

Guide leaders through organizational redesigns with clear principles and trade-off analysis​

Org structure “health check” that assesses efficiency and effectiveness and provides key areas for improvement.​

Common Client Questions:

"There’s a lot of confusion around roles, responsibilities and decision-making—how do we bring clarity?"

"AI is having a real impact on how our business operates, and how people do their jobs. We want to make sure we are intentional about how we design that."

"We’ve scaled quickly and I’m not sure the structure has kept up — can we do a quick pulse check to see where we can improve?"

"We’ve tried org changes before, but they haven’t stuck—how do we make it work this time?"

"We don’t have the capacity for another full-time hire, but we need senior-level HR support."

"We’ve got smart people, but they’re stretched—can you help us connect the dots?"​​

Executive Coaching

A space to reflect honestly, work through key challenges, and lead with greater confidence and impact.

Understand your impact as a leader, make intentional shifts and feel empowered to lead with authenticity and influence

Navigate complex team dynamics, foster trust and accountability in your team(s),  and create the conditions for your people to thrive

Strengthen your influence, communication, and impact with executive level stakeholders

"I've tried everything, but motivation in my team is slipping. What am I missing?"

"I’m being asked to influence across an organization that wasn’t built for this change — where do I start?"

"We made changes fast — now the team is burnt out and disengaged. How do we rebuild?"
