Building Talent-Dense, High-Performance Organizations | Head of HR @ Karbon | OKRs • Org Design • Culture Systems | Fintech & SaaS

About

I build people and culture systems that help companies scale without breaking. Currently leading HR at Karbon Business — a high-growth AI fintech — where I’ve designed and scaled people practices across geographies—building strong foundations for performance, culture, and leadership. My work sits at the intersection of business and people: • Building OKR-driven performance systems to drive clarity and accountability • Designing scalable org structures, hiring strategies, and talent-dense teams • Driving talent management and leadership capability in high-growth environments • Creating high-performance culture operating systems that balance speed with alignment • Partnering closely with founders and leadership teams during critical growth phases Before Karbon, I spent 8 years at Increff (Global SaaS) scaling the organization from early-stage to $12M ARR — sustaining 85% engagement, holding attrition at ~14% against a 20–25% industry benchmark, and building a leadership pipeline where 90% of roles were filled internally. I’m particularly focused on one challenge: => How do you build a talent-dense, high-performance organization without losing speed, ownership, or culture as you scale? If you're a founder or people leader navigating hypergrowth and want to exchange notes — I'd love to connect.
