Here to help grow companies sustainably by building high performing teams and systems that scale with you.
hill road coLab
Hill Road coLab came out of a passion for working with founders to help build teams that feel connected with purpose, empowered to do great work, and supported by the right systems and processes in place. That’s not always easy, and yet all these things are interconnected.
What’s unique about my approach is that I’ve seen what good looks like at scale through working at multiple Fortune 500 companies, and know how to get my hands dirty having been Head of HR in a fast-growing organization and working in corporate VC helping other founders get started.
I believe that HR is a partnership. We’re always testing, learning, and iterating what’s best for your company based on foundational frameworks.
I work with startup founders and investors to build high performing teams and systems that scale with you. Together, let’s build something great.

Change is never easy. Whether it’s from new growth or revisiting your current structure, we can work together to optimize your org and use a proven framework for implementing and communicating the change in an effective and human-centered way.
-
Whether it’s setting up scalable performance reviews or identifying strategies to accelerate your top talent, it is critical to set up a robust talent process to help you and your employees grow.
-
Strong people processes should all interconnect and reinforce each other. From integrating your values into your recruitment process, to building a compensation system that reinforces your culture, we can help with building a new process or taking a big picture look at how everything ties together.

Having seen People Ops from when it’s a team of three to leading functions in a company of hundreds of thousands, getting the basics right means setting a solid foundation to carry out out the mission of your company with the right people, in the right place, with the right processes.

How We Can Work Together

Fractional HR
Use a strategic and experienced HR thought partner to help work on your top People priorities and integrating more deeply into your org. Whether it’s thinking through your org design to help you scale or working on something that will require deep change management, sometimes you just need a “part-time” HR resource you can call on.

Consulting Projects
Maybe you’re looking at how to tie your performance cycle to your compensation, or you’re simply trying to set up scalable performance reviews/ an inclusive recruitment process. You can use us to set tangible steps and milestones to build out your processes or help with a project end-to-end.

Advisor
Sometimes you just need someone who has seen what good looks like at scale (and volume) you can call on for advice or to bounce ideas of of. I work with Founders and HR Leaders as an advisor, coach, and thought partner.
