AI FOR PEOPLE & TALENT TEAMS

Give your team more capability, not another login.

I help People, HR, and Talent teams turn AI ideas into useful workflows, internal tools, and better decisions.

My work combines AI strategy, people analytics, and hands-on building. We can work together through a team hackathon, project-based consulting, fractional leadership, or one-on-one coaching.

TALK ABOUT YOUR TEAM

Your AI strategy and people data need to connect.

The starting point is often ordinary. A recruiter copies information between systems. A People Ops team rebuilds the same report every week. Employees ask questions that have already been answered somewhere in a policy document.

AI might help, but the tool is only one part of the problem.

The dashboard needs information from HRIS, ATS, and several spreadsheets. The assistant needs current policies it can trust. The automation needs clear inputs, ownership, and review before it can safely do the work.

Before building a dashboard, we need to know which decisions it should support. Before automating a process, we need to understand what should change and how we’ll know whether it worked.

That is why AI transformation inside a People team cannot be separated from its workflows, systems, data, and people.

Four common ways to work together

AI hackathons

Help your team learn by building.

Your team steps away from the day-to-day and works on real problems already sitting on its desk.

People learn how to use AI by trying it: redesigning a workflow, building a small internal tool, creating an assistant, or testing an idea they have not had the technical support to explore.

The team leaves with practical experience, working prototypes, and a better understanding of where AI belongs in its work.

TALK ABOUT A HACKATHON

Project-based consulting

A defined outcome, with hands-on delivery.

You need someone to deliver a defined initiative, from a reporting dashboard to a People operating system.

Internal tools and automation: Build an intake tool, connect systems, or automate a recurring process.

People analytics: Define useful metrics, understand the underlying data, and build reporting that supports workforce decisions.

We agree on the scope, deliverables, and handover before implementation. Larger initiatives can be delivered in phases.

DISCUSS A PROJECT

Fractional Head of People Analytics & AI

Hands-on leadership for your People and HR team.

Bring me in to lead your People analytics and AI work when you need experienced leadership on a part-time basis, or to cover a gap while you hire.

I work with your People leader to set priorities, own the agreed roadmap, and lead delivery across analytics, internal tools, and AI adoption. That includes hands-on building and coordinating with your HRIS, engineering, and governance partners.

DISCUSS FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP

AI executive coaching

For individuals leading AI transformation.

Work with me one-on-one to develop your own AI capability and think through the decisions you’re responsible for.

Sessions combine hands-on work with AI tools and support on prioritization, organizational design, and adoption. You can start directly, without first commissioning a team-wide engagement.

The experience behind this work

Inside People and Talent teams

I led Talent Technology and Analytics at Figma, built the People Analytics function at Sonos, and worked in People Analytics at Wayfair.

My work included HR technology implementation, analytics infrastructure, workforce reporting, vendor integrations, and translating the needs of People teams into systems and roadmaps. My implementation experience includes Greenhouse.

Building recruiting systems

I built a recruiting-operations platform that moved publishing from weekly to daily and eliminated more than 20 hours of manual work each week.

I also built a Slack-connected hiring platform for a professional community. It replaced fragmented job posts and applicant tracking with a structured system used by roughly 300 members each month.

Helping teams adopt AI

I design and facilitate AI hackathons, working sessions, and implementation programs for nontechnical teams.

At AC Brands, an operations team worked on its own workflows and built a first version of a support system it could continue using.

“I went from knowing very little about how AI tools could be leveraged in my day to day to actively thinking about different automations that could be used to save us time.”

Start with what is stuck.

You do not need a finished AI roadmap before we talk.

Show me the workflow that takes too long, the information nobody trusts, the tool nobody has time to build, or the part of your AI strategy that is not moving.

We can determine whether you need a hackathon, someone to deliver a defined initiative, leadership for your People analytics and AI work, or one-on-one coaching.
