Scaling People Checklist

I work with founders to understand whether their people infrastructure is genuinely ready for the next stage of the business, and what needs to change before investors, buyers or rapid growth expose the gaps. Through strategic people frameworks, I identify the gaps, risks and structural issues that affect the value of the business, then give founders a clear route to address them. This isn't outsourced generalist HR. It's senior strategic HR expertise for founders who are approaching a significant point in their business journey and need to know whether their people infrastructure will stand up to scrutiny. The approach is direct, commercial and proportionate. No unnecessary HR machinery. No junior-level advice. No corporate jargon. Just a clear view of the people issues that could affect the next move and a framework for dealing with them. With 16 years of HR experience, including senior HR leadership across high-growth and multi-site businesses, I bring a strategic perspective shaped by real experience of restructures, exits, organisational change and complex people risk.  A Chartered MCIPD with a postgraduate HR qualification, I have delivered people strategy across EMEA, APAC and the US and have worked with notable businesses in high-stakes situations where the people strategy really matters.  When I'm not working on my business or my client's businesses, you'll find me at a restaurant or jetting off on a plane. I love food and travel - even better when I can combine the two!
