By day I lead the full HR function at a global RPO firm. I own the hiring plan, the retention numbers, the escalations, and the stuff that never makes the slide deck. Not a consultant who left the function. Someone still in the seat.
By night, and most mornings, I write for HR practitioners. Every day since May 2025. Zero to 32,000+ readers, because the field deserves a voice that is actually living it, not commenting on it from a distance.
22% of the people reading me sit at Director or above, up from 16% a year ago. The audience is getting more senior, not less.
Handbooks don't build cultures. The moments between the lines do. Every tool, every process, every policy should serve the humans it touches, not the other way around.
The best ideas in this field come from people who still have skin in the game. If your HR advice could come from anyone, it probably did. I try never to sound like anyone else.
Not a support function. Not a cost center. Not the fun police. Done well, HR is the difference between a company that compounds and one that leaks its best people.
I'm a husband. I'm a dad. I'm the kind of person who will have the real conversation instead of the easy one, which makes me a pain to interview with and a gift to work for. I believe in humor at work. I think most meetings are too long. I think most strategies are too complicated. I think most leaders overthink what their people actually need, which is to feel seen.
Humans Before Title. That's the whole brand in three words. I mean it.
I route inbound by what you actually need. Less friction for you, a faster answer from me.
