What my clients have to say
"Kristin was a dream to work with, so knowledgeable and focused, she really helped us make the best decision and kept us on time. Would work with her again anytime and would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone else."
Melissa Kwiatkowski

"Kristin gives me something every leader values: peace of mind. I know that, no matter how busy I am, my team's needs are being met so they can do their best work.
Colin Druhan (he/ him)

About me
I'm Kristin, with an invisible 'e' at the end of my name because I was born in Germany, where language rules don't require an 'e' to make it Kristine. I love to travel, fitness, and enjoy an ice cream or three with my two kiddos and husband.
With over 15 years of experience working with small, scaling teams, my expertise is in building lean yet strong HR foundations that integrate with all parts of the business.
Having decided to leave a well-paying, full-time job in tech, I followed my passion for working with start-ups, establishing the core of HR, and allowing founders to focus on building a successful company.
"Hustle and heart will set you apart."

Where Start-ups and Scale-ups Have it Wrong
In my experience, start-ups and scale-ups are missing one significant element to their company. Whether it’s a start-up that is still validating a product and searching for a scalable business model or a scale-up that has validated their assumption by proving that their product is economically sustainable, both overlook the importance of HR operations, resulting in a lack of focus in its founders, inefficiencies, and increased overhead costs.
