For fintech founders + operators
Fractional CHRO for fintech.
Talent infrastructure for fintech companies, 10–300 people. Built by an operator who has shipped regulated comp design, banking-talent migration, Series-B leveling overhauls, and AI-driven HR transformations — not theorized them.
What we ship for fintech.
Regulated comp design
Banking talent migrating into fintech needs comp structures that hold up against incumbents — and against the pay-equity laws that vary state-by-state. We've shipped this.
Sales comp for fintech (not generic SaaS)
Fintech sales comp doesn't follow the standard SaaS playbook. Plan accelerators, multi-product attribution, and regulatory roles all complicate the standard frameworks.
Series-B leveling overhauls
Most fintechs hit a leveling crisis between Series A and Series C. Mapping ENG / GTM / Compliance into a single leveling matrix without breaking comp budget is the hard part. We have the playbook.
Manager Operating System for fintech
Adapted to compliance-heavy environments, ex-banking talent, and dual-track ladders. Anchored in Gallup's 70% manager-engagement-variance finding, productized for our vertical.
AI-driven HR transformation
91% of CHROs cite AI as their top concern; only 20% have rebuilt processes. We've shipped end-to-end AI transformations across recruiting, perf, comp, and policy — with regulatory awareness baked in.
M&A people work
Pre-investment HR DD, post-close people integration, executive comp design for acquired entities. Effective post-merger people integration adds 20% to deal success rates.
