Founder-sized problems.
bite-size solutions.

Big-picture HR thinking. Tailor-made for growing businesses. Fractional HR for growing companies that have outgrown “figuring it out” but aren’t ready for a full-time HR leader.

Let’s talk

Founders often don’t need more HR.
They need better decisions.

Sometimes that means hiring differently, having the hard conversations, and building systems that stop the same problems from showing up.

That’s where I come in.

I help you make better people decisions and put the right foundations in place, shaped by what your business needs today and where you're headed next.

Human where it matters. AI where it helps. So you can build smarter without losing focus on your mission.

Fractional

Think of me as part of your leadership team. I’ll help you make the tough calls, challenge your thinking when needed, and roll up my sleeves to get the work done.

What that can include:

  • Hiring & recruiting
  • Leadership coaching
  • Employee relations
  • Performance management
  • Workforce planning

Project

Need to solve one specific people challenge? Whether hiring feels chaotic, onboarding isn’t sticking, managers need support, or your team has outgrown its current way of working, we’ll scope it together, and I’ll fix it and leave you with something that lasts.

Popular projects:

  • Hiring process design
  • Onboarding
  • Compensation benchmarking
  • Performance frameworks
  • HR policies & employee handbook

Advisory

Sometimes you just need someone to gut-check before a hard conversation, or a clear-eyed perspective on what’s really going on with your team.

I’m that call.

Ideal for:

  • Founder coaching
  • Difficult employee situations
  • Organizational design
  • Team restructuring
  • People strategy

Hi, I’m Shahzana.

For more than a decade, I’ve helped leaders build teams, develop managers, and create leadership programs inside one of Canada’s largest investment organizations.

Now, I bring that experience to founders navigating a very different stage of growth. I’ll help you hire thoughtfully, build stronger managers, navigate difficult conversations, and put the right foundations in place before growth exposes the cracks.

My job is to give you exactly the support you need, when you need it.

Because growing a business is hard enough. Let's make your people strategy easier.
