Helping small teams build strong people foundations — with clarity, care, and coffee.

Hi, I’m Linda — HR strategist, people-first problem solver, and founder of People Alchemy Consulting.

After 20+ years leading HR across startups and Fortune 100 companies, I started People Alchemy to help small businesses and founders build strong, thoughtful teams from the inside out. I’ve built HR functions from scratch, scaled global teams, coached execs through tough moments, and created programs that actually work — not just look good on paper.

At People Alchemy, I focus on helping early-stage and women-owned businesses lay down the right people foundations — from hiring and onboarding to performance, culture, and leadership development. Whether you need a fractional VP of People or a hands-on partner to untangle the messy middle of growth, I’m here for it.

I believe great HR is equal parts clarity, compassion, and candor. No corporate jargon. No bloated playbooks. Just practical support that makes your people — and your business — thrive.

When I’m not helping teams grow, you’ll find me chasing after my toddler, sipping strong coffee, planning my next trip, or getting lost in a good book.
