As a first-time founder, I was drowning in people challenges — no clue how to give feedback, onboard, or actually lead. Having Paulina as my fractional people partner was a lifesaver. Every question got a practical, no-BS answer that I could implement immediately.

— David K., Co-Founder at an AI Scaleup

The impact was immediate. Paulina brought clarity and structure to our chaotic People Ops during rapid scaling—building performance frameworks and revamping our employer brand in just 90 days. She gets how companies grow and creates systems that actually scale without killing culture. Our team alignment improved dramatically, and we're still using every framework she built.

— Valentina M., COO at a Series A SaaS Startup
