People and culture strategy, leader support and senior HR advisory — tailored to your growth stage.

Strategic projects + advice

My approach

I offer flexible support — retained for regular advisory sessions, ad-hoc work or project-based depending on your needs. I bring an independent perspective, a coaching led approach, deep senior HR experience and a commercial mindset to help you navigate challenges, create clarity and strengthen organisational capability.

I also work with businesses pre- and post-transaction in the M&A context, drawing on experience across PE-backed, VC-funded and investment-ready companies. This is about supporting leaders to manage and market a high performing business, working on organisation design, leadership communication and culture alignment to support a smooth transition that delivers on the value case.

For People Directors without the specialist resources of a Centre of Expertise, I can also step in to design of OD, leadership development and talent initiatives and work alongside you through the stakeholder and launch phases.

Common projects

  • Getting to the core of understanding your purpose, aligning this with your brand and business plans to create a compelling employee proposition and better ways of working

  • Helping leadership teams and investors prepare for and navigate the people side of mergers, acquisitions and funding rounds.

  • Structuring and guiding topics, content and conversations to create clarity, resolve conflict, and make decisions that stick.

  • Building P+C strategies and plans to integrate into wider business planning phases

  • Supporting in-house HR leaders to build capability, confidence and strategic influence.

  • Working with leaders to reshape structures, roles and responsibilities to align with strategy and growth plans.

  • Building leadership and career development approaches and programmes aligned to business stage and needs

CEO | retained People + Culture advisory

"Faye is brilliant to work with - a People person that just gets it.  She's able to balance the right choices for the business and the right choices for the people in the business. She thinks strategically and can get into detail when needed and is my go-to person for direct and actionable feedback, especially on things that are confidential or sensitive.  I know I can throw anything at her and I'll quickly get great collaboration, refinements, challenge and advice - she's been a really valuable partner for me."

CFO | pre-transaction project support

“Faye has such an incredibly calm demeanour and is so level headed. I personally have learnt a lot from her, and her council is always pitch perfect.”
