US & California HR Consultant & Advisor
Backed by a Dedicated HR Operations Team
I help US and California companies stay compliant, build strong people systems, and scale confidently — with strategic HR leadership and a full-scale HR operations team to handle execution.
Avoid the $110K+ cost of a full-time HR hire while still receiving senior HR oversight and day-to-day HR support.
HR leadership when you need strategy.
A reliable HR team when you need execution.
As companies grow, HR becomes too complex to manage informally — yet hiring a full internal HR team can be costly and premature.
A single US-based HR professional with California experience can easily cost $110,000+ per year before benefits and overhead.
My model offers a smarter alternative.
- Strategic HR guidance from me directly
- Dedicated HR operations team
- Compliance-first systems
- Scalable structure as you grow
All at a fraction of the cost of a traditional in-house HR hire.
