What I Know
Creative businesses run on talent, and most outgrow their HR before anyone notices.
Suddenly there are 40 people. Your best strategist is now a manager no one trained. Pay feels inconsistent, reviews feel like a formality, and you're spending Fridays on people problems instead of the work.
You don't need a corporate HR department. You need the right HR, at the right size, from someone who has done this inside creative organizations.
How I Help
As a Fractional Head of HR, I partner with advertising, PR, media and creative businesses to build practical HR foundations, strengthen leadership, navigate people challenges and manage employment-related risk.
First policies, right-sized systems, and the right moment for your first HR hire.
Feedback, career paths, and leveling your team believes in.
Turn great talent into capable, confident managers.
Hard conversations, handled with care and clarity.
Experience inside TBWA · Golin · BBH · NBCUniversal
I’ve spent more than a decade inside creative organizations, most recently as Director of HR at TBWA on the west coast leading HR operations and before that leading global learning and development at Golin. I know the pace of a pitch cycle, the pressure on creative teams, and what keeps talented people engaged and accountable.
How It Works
Every business is different. Your HR partnership should be, too.
Let's talk through where your people function feels strained. No pitch, no pressure.
I assess what is working, what is not, and what to build first.
I work alongside you as your fractional Head of HR, or on a defined project.
