Hi! I'm Sholeh, and I specialize in helping startups and growing companies develop people and talent strategies that align with business goals, driving impact and action. 

 

With two decades of experience in building and scaling HR and recruiting functions from the ground up across various industries, I understand the challenges fast-growing companies face.

 

My approach is simple: I view HR, talent operations, and company culture like a product that must evolve to meet the needs of the business and its people. I focus on practical, data-informed, and scalable strategies and frameworks that attract, develop, and retain talent.​​​
