In the meantime, who's handling HR?
Human-first HR leadership for founders and CFOs who need experienced people support now, before the full-time hire and without the cost of a department.

How I can help
HR Function Building
I build the foundations a growing organization needs: onboarding, policies, compensation structure, performance practices, and compliance. Everything is designed for your stage and your culture, and ready to hand to your future HR leader.
Interim HR Leadership
When the seat is empty, I fill it. I handle day-to-day employee relations, sit in on leadership meetings, and make the calls that can't wait, so your people feel supported and the business keeps moving while you hire.
Strategic Advisory
A trusted HR voice for the decisions that carry weight: reductions in force, executive transitions, compensation changes, workplace investigations. I help you handle them with care for your people and clarity for the business.
HR support for the in-between
Growing companies run into real people questions long before they can justify a full HR team. That gap is where I work. Whether you need the core function stood up, a specific project handled, or an experienced leader during a transition, you get the judgment of a senior HR executive and real attention to the people on the other side of every decision.
How Meantime HR Works
01
Discovery
We start with a conversation. I want to understand your people, your priorities, and what HR needs to look like for you right now. There is no standard package.
02
Custom Roadmap
Together we scope what is needed. That might be interim leadership, a defined project, ongoing advisory, or some combination. You get clear deliverables and clear timelines, and nothing gets overbuilt.
03
Delivery
I step in and do the work. When your permanent HR leader arrives, they inherit a functioning practice and a thoughtful transition rather than a blank slate.
Let's talk about the meantime
If you don't have an HR leader yet but the people work can't wait, I'd welcome a conversation. Tell me a little about where you are and what you're navigating, and we'll figure out the right kind of support together.
