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
Most CHROs name AI as a top-three concern; few have rebuilt processes around it. We've shipped end-to-end AI transformations across recruiting, perf, comp, and policy, with NIST AI RMF, NYC LL 144, and EEOC 2023 awareness baked in.
M&A people work
Pre-investment HR DD, post-close people integration, executive comp design for acquired entities. People-side integration is one of the largest preventable destroyers of M&A deal value — we work the comp, leveling, retention, and culture risk before they become deal issues.
