Scaling a business is hard enough. Scaling it without losing your people or your culture? Even harder. I help founders, executives, and boards tackle the messy middle of growth – aligning strategy with culture, embedding Diversity, Equity and Belonging (DEB), and handling the employee challenges that keep leaders up at night.

With 15+ years leading People & Culture across startups, healthcare, oil & gas, and enterprises of 2,200+ employees, I bring both executive-level perspective and hands-on experience. My approach is equal parts strategist and pragmatist: I’ll help you design the big picture while making sure the details (like compliance, policies, and systems) actually work in real life. And yes, I bring just enough humour to keep things human along the way.

I look at people practices through a lens of equity, while ensuring businesses have the strong foundations they need to thrive. I celebrate diversity in all its forms – because the differences we bring to the table are exactly what make teams and organizations stronger together.

I’m open to both fractional consulting and traditional employment — contract, temporary, or permanent. This flexibility allows me to support more businesses, adapt to their changing needs, and make the greatest impact where people and culture matter most.

🔍 Find the Right HR Fit for Your Business

Every organization’s needs are different. Some benefit most from fractional or consulting support, while others need a dedicated internal HR leader. The key is finding the model that best supports your growth stage, budget, and goals.

🌟 Why Fractional People & Culture Might Be Right for You

Hiring a full-time senior HR executive isn’t always realistic — or necessary. With a fractional partnership, you get executive-level expertise that flexes with your business, providing the right support at the right time.

• Strategic + flexible → I’ll learn your business inside and out so your people plan aligns with your goals — not a generic playbook.
• Right-sized support → Get the help you need, with the ability to dial it up or down as your business evolves.
• Cost-effective → Executive leadership without the full-time overhead.
• Fresh perspective → Insights from across industries to help you grow stronger, faster.
• Bridge leadership gaps → Keep momentum going during transitions, before your first in-house hire, or when extra bandwidth is needed.
• Objective & neutral → Unbiased guidance leaders can trust.
• Hands-on and practical → Not just strategy decks — real execution that moves the needle.

Fractional means you gain a dedicated resource who feels like part of your leadership team — with flexibility built in.

🧭 When an Internal Hire Makes the Most Sense

Some organizations reach a point where bringing HR leadership in-house creates the most value. You might be ready for a permanent HR role if:

• You’ve scaled to a size where HR needs are daily and strategic decisions demand constant visibility.
• You’re ready to invest in long-term leadership continuity and culture stewardship.
• Your team benefits from an “on-site” presence to lead, coach, and influence at every level.
• Your business has outgrown a fractional model and needs embedded expertise day to day.

Even in these cases, fractional support can bridge the gap — helping you hire, onboard, or transition to a full-time People & Culture leader seamlessly.

Here's How I Can Support Your Business:

🌱 Aligning Culture & Strategy – I help leadership teams align culture with business goals to drive engagement, retention, and performance.
🌈 Embedding DEB – I strengthen inclusion across the employee lifecycle, weaving belonging into leadership, operations, and everyday interactions.
⚖️ Employee & Labour Relations – I handle sensitive issues, complaints, investigations, and compliance with fairness and discretion — and provide follow-up training, coaching, and policies.
🏗️ Building People Infrastructure at Scale – I help organizations put the right frameworks in place to grow confidently: policies, L&D, total rewards, org design, and recognition programs.

🌟 A Bit More About Me

Life’s not all boardrooms and business plans. My wife and I recently spent four months living in our motor home with our two dogs and one very patient cat — which is really just another way of saying I’m fluent in flexibility, adventure, and pet chaos. Whether on the road near home or traveling abroad (Japan was a recent favorite), I get my energy from the outdoors and from building meaningful connections — ideally around a campfire or over a good meal. As a champion of mental health, I’m passionate about creating spaces where people feel supported, valued, and free to bring their whole selves to the table (boardroom or picnic).
