About Marina

I help fast-growing startups and scale-ups structure their People organizations and evolve their HR practices to support scaling, without complicating the organization.

Specifically, I work with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to help them better organize their teams, structure performance, strengthen managerial practices, and secure growth or transformation phases.

What I can bring you
  • Structure a People function or professionalize an existing organization
  • Implement simple and effective performance management practices
  • Support team and organizational scaling (roles, structure, management)
  • Improve employee experience throughout the entire lifecycle (recruitment, onboarding, engagement, offboarding)
  • Support managers in their role (management, feedback, objectives, sensitive situations)
  • Provide part-time HR support during phases of high growth or transition

What sets me apart

I have a dual approach:
  • Strategic, as an HR Business Partner to executives
  • Highly operational, by building and deploying People processes on the ground
I am particularly comfortable in hyper-growth environments where speed, quality, and simplicity are essential for structuring.

My goal is always the same: to build pragmatic, useful, and scalable solutions adapted to the business reality.

Types of assignments I undertake
  • Structuring of HR / People Ops function
  • Implementation of performance and management frameworks
  • Recruitment (structuring or scaling of processes)
  • Organization & design of growing teams
  • Part-time HRBP / People Partner
  • Support for transformation or hyper-growth phases
