Chris Brown

You always knew building a business would be hard. You’ve done the heavy lifting to get past the early stages but now that you’re growing, cracks might be showing: 🆘 Hiring is inconsistent and reactive 🆘 New joiners aren't ramping up fast enough 🆘 First-time managers feeling overwhelmed 🆘 The org is outgrowing its early-stage habits It’s all normal. But it’s also solvable. 👋 I’m Chris - I help founders build people-centred organisations that can scale without losing what made them great in the first place. I’ve spent over a decade working in startups and now step in as an interim Head of People or advisor to help you solve your trickiest team challenges. Here’s how I work: I want you to win I don’t implement tools for the sake of optics. My work is about leaving things in a better, stronger place - for your business and your people. I build on what’s already working No need to start from scratch unless it’s truly broken. I find what’s already good and evolve it. Your culture shouldn’t be copy-pasted from someone else’s playbook. I’m a short-term boost, not a long-term hire I work best when I’m brought in to solve real problems with a clear mandate. Once the work’s done, I hand over - whether that’s to your first People hire or a new operating rhythm that no longer needs me. I’ve already seen what can go wrong You don’t need to repeat others’ mistakes. I bring pattern recognition, context, and calm. You’ll get practical, tested advice - not theory. I live and work flexibly As a father and husband, flexibility matters to me - and I bring that perspective when helping shape cultures, benefits, and ways of working that reflect the lives your team actually live. 📩 Curious to chat?
