As Lead HR Business Partner at Convozen.ai, I partner directly with the founders and senior leadership team to build the people and organizational foundations needed to scale a high-growth AI business. My focus is on aligning talent, structure, and performance with where the business is headed — not just where it is today — while enabling the launch of new business verticals. This spans designing the organization's operating model and role architecture, driving executive and leadership hiring for critical functions, and building performance management systems, competency models, and goal-setting frameworks that create real accountability. I also lead org and market benchmarking, workforce and succession planning, and the RACI/governance frameworks that keep a fast-scaling org from tripping over its own structure. At its core, this role is about translating business priorities into people strategy — so growth doesn't outpace the org's ability to execute on it.

About

Most HR teams are built to maintain. I build them to scale. After 7.5 years of working with fast-growing startups and global teams, I've learned one thing: the HR systems that got you to 50 people will quietly break you at 200. I work with founders and leadership teams to answer a question most wait too long to ask — how do you scale your people function before it becomes a crisis? That means designing systems for hiring, performance, and culture that hold up under pressure. It means using platforms like Workday, ServiceNow, and Zoho not as software purchases — but as infrastructure decisions. And it means making people data readable to the people who make decisions. Some things I've built: increased internal mobility by 45%. Reduced attrition through predictive workforce analytics. Designed org structures that scaled without losing culture. I write about people systems, HR tech, and what it actually takes to scale a team — not the theory, the real decisions. If your company is growing faster than your people function — let's talk. I'm open to advisory conversations with founders and CHROs who are thinking seriously about this.
