Luis Pires Da Silva

I help growing organisations turn fragmented HR practices into clear, workable people systems that support execution, stronger managers and sustainable growth.

With 11+ years of experience across HR leadership, business partnering, organisational development and Learning & Development, I have led an HR function in Portugal, managed a 12-person team and partnered with senior leaders across technology, financial services, manufacturing, construction and professional services.

I support organisations with:

• HR and People Operations audits

• Organisational design, role clarity and scalable processes

• Performance management, KPIs/OKRs and career frameworks

• Leadership development and manager capability

• Learning strategy, internal academies and capability building

• Culture, engagement and change initiatives

My approach is pragmatic: I diagnose the operating context, identify the points of friction, and design solutions that teams can adopt without unnecessary bureaucracy.

I combine executive HR experience with applied organisational psychology and doctoral research in Management focused on decision-making and AI in organisational contexts.

I am best suited to SMEs, growing organisations and teams navigating change, restructuring or scale-up. Available for focused diagnostics, project-based consulting and strategic HR support.
