Let’s talk. We’ll help you figure it out—no pressure, no up-sell, just clear thinking.
Growing a deep-tech or quantum company isn’t simple.
Whether you’re building quantum hardware, scaling an AI platform, or developing high-performance computing systems, the people challenges usually arrive before anyone is ready for them.
That’s where I come in.
I provide fractional HR support, leadership development, and people strategy specifically for quantum spin-outs, AI start-ups, HPC companies, and scientific scale-ups that need structure, clarity and high-performing teams, without the cost of a full in-house HR function.
Most HR support isn’t built for scientific or research-led organisations.
But quantum and deep-tech teams face unique pressures:
This mix creates bottlenecks, friction and eventually burnout.
You need people, structure and leadership support tailored to this world, not generic HR templates.
What I help you build:
Clear workforce planning, role definitions, organisational structure and growth pathways that match your technical roadmap.
Practical coaching, training and support that helps technical experts become confident, credible leaders — without losing their authenticity or research focus.
Move from ad-hoc communication and academic habits to a healthy, scalable culture where people know what good looks like.
Lightweight, modern frameworks that support innovation, accountability and team cohesion across diverse functions.
Build repeatable processes for recruiting and integrating physicists, engineers, software developers and commercial talent.
Support during rapid growth phases (20 → 50 → 100+ people) so you don’t lose momentum or overwhelm your founders.
This service is designed for organisations such as:
Most clients are 1–10 years old, scaling fast, and either pre-HR or have minimal PeopleOps capacity.
These patterns show up in almost every deep-tech and quantum organisation I support:
Brilliant researchers taking on leadership for the first time, often without guidance.
Hardware, software, physics and product teams struggling with communication and ownership.
Growing headcount creates confusion, duplication and decision bottlenecks.
Values are well-intentioned but not embedded, especially as hiring accelerates.
The team grows faster than the operational backbone so everything ends up on the founders’ plates.
Demand for specialists increases before talent processes exist.
If your company is experiencing any of this, you’re exactly the type of team I support.
Because it’s built for the reality of your world:
You don’t need a corporate HR department.
You need someone who understands complexity, scientific culture and commercial reality ....and can help you scale without becoming bureaucratic.
Whether you're growing fast, navigating change, or just need a fresh HR perspective - I’m here to help your people and your business thrive.
