People and structure.
The foundation strategy stands on.
Katharina Baker-Robbins
Fractional & Interim CHRO
For more than fifteen years, I have led HR and organisation at executive level, in global corporates and in mid-sized companies. Today, I bring that experience to companies as a Fractional CHRO, on project mandates, or as a trusted advisor to the leadership team, applied with judgement, never by the book, and always with an eye for the people behind it.
Growth moves faster than structure. At some point, the way you are organised, the way you lead, and the culture you have built stop matching where the business is heading to. That is the point I come in - to redesign the organisation with you, reset how leadership works, and turn HR into a real strategic partner.
25 years of corporate experience, tailored and applied to what your organisation needs.
Your Challenges
Your business has changed.
The structure are not.
What used to work is starting to strain. Accountability is blurred, decisions stall, and the leadership team can't quite agree on where they're heading.
HR is operationally strong,
but not yet a strategic partner.
The team keeps things running. But the strategic contribution HR could be making to the future of the company remains untapped.
Transformation without experienced guidance.
Restructuring, mergers and strategic realignments reshape a company at every level. Without deliberate stewardship of leadership and culture, the outcome remains uncertain.
What Changes for You
Roles are clear. Decisions have a path. The shape of the organisation fits the strategy.
Your key roles are held by the right people, with a plan for how they grow and who comes next.
HR is at the table shaping the future, with the systems and tools to back it up.
Change happens calmly and with trust intact, even in difficult phases.
Current Mandate
