A people partner who's already been in the room you're walking into.
Three ways to work together — built around where you actually are, not a packaged service menu.
Fractional & Interim Head of People
You need senior HR leadership but you're not ready for a full-time hire. Cassie embeds with your team, sits in your leadership meetings, and runs the people function — until you're ready for what's next.
Seed–Series C teams without a Head of People, or companies between leaders.
Typically 1–3 days/week, 3–6 month engagements with a clear exit plan.
Example: Interim Head of People at Moonvalley, growing the team from 60 to 150 across the US, UK, and Canada in 10 months, through acquisition.
How interim worksPeople Projects
A specific thing needs to get done: comp framework, performance process, leveling, handbook, restructure planning. Cassie scopes it, builds it, and hands it off so your team can own it.
Companies with people leaders already in seat who need senior capacity for a defined initiative.
Fixed-scope projects, typically 4–10 weeks, milestone-based.
Example: At Two Chairs, raised clinician retention from 59% to 76% in under a year through leveling, comp philosophy, and better performance management.
People Advisory
You have HR in-house but you want a senior thought partner. Weekly calls, async support, real-time guidance on the hard stuff — without adding headcount.
Founders, first-time people leaders, or in-house HR teams who want senior reach when they need it.
Monthly retainer with capped hours and async access.
Example: At Ladder, doubled the team from 80 to 160 in six months while cutting outside recruiting spend by 90% (about $1M).
When to reach out
We work best with founders and leaders who are in the middle of something real.
- You need senior HR leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire
- Your people function is behind where your company is
- You're navigating a restructure, a leadership gap, or hypergrowth
- You have HR in-house but need a senior thought partner for the hard stuff
- You're about to make a people decision that could go very wrong
If any of that sounds familiar, let's talk.
