About

TL;DR 5x Head of People & Culture with a bias for action, a love of iteration. Nora lived and built teams in tech across 8 countries on 3 continents. She is passionate about quality relationships and firm is believer in "Kindness is magic". -- Who do I work with? You’re building fast. You’ve got a product, a team, and real momentum. But let’s be honest — things are getting harder to hold together. Suddenly: # What used to feel easy is now messy # Your people just don’t get it # Your team wants clarity and alignment # You’re making bigger decisions with less confidence And things keep moving — fast That’s where I come in. I work with founders who are committed and clear on their vision. I help you turn instinct into systems, values into culture, and talent into an engine for growth. Together, we'll amplify what’s already working — your clarity, your values, your leadership — and build the people systems that extend your strength across the company. It’s about creating the conditions for your team — and you — to perform at your best. I’ve helped startups across industries and continents navigate messy middles, rapid growth, tough calls, and high-stakes transitions. I work side-by-side with founders to build teams that move with focus, trust, and momentum — without losing what made you special in the first place. What we’ll create together: 📈 Execution with clarity → Cut through noise. Move faster with fewer dependencies and more trust. 👥 Hiring that actually works → No fluff. Just the right people, at the right time, with a repeatable process. 🌱 Leaders who step up → Coach your managers to lead. Free yourself from being the bottleneck. 🧭 An org that supports your growth strategy → Structure that flexes when needed — and holds when it matters. Build functions and teams from scratch. 🧠 A culture you’re proud of, at scale → Codify the real values — not just the ones you write on a slide. 🔁 Operating rhythms that sharpen execution → Get your team talking about the right things, at the right time, with the right intensity. 🎯 Relentless focus through goal systems → Know exactly what matters — and make sure everyone else does too. 🤝 A people strategy investors take seriously → Show the depth and foresight they expect from a world-class team. 🧩 Alignment at the top → Drive the hard conversations. Unblock decisions. Lead with clarity. Whether you’re bootstrapped or backed, first-time or seasoned, scaling from Lagos, London, or Lisbon — I meet you where you are and help you build from there. -----
