I’m Yvonne, a People Leader with over 20 years of experience across start-ups, scale-ups, and corporate environments. I’ve spent my career specialising in building high-performing and engaged teams that drive business success.

I founded the Human Foundry to provide tailored support to small and medium-sized companies. My services focus on aligning people strategy with financial business goals to ensure your teams are positioned for growth. I have a special interest in progressive HR approaches including how to optimise remote and hybrid working, minimising hierarchy and, retaining GenZ talent, as well as more traditional approaches. Whether you need ongoing advisory services, board-level input, project expertise, or mentorship for a solo HR specialist, I’m here to help.

I’m a passionate, friendly, open and direct communicator. If you need senior-level guidance but aren’t ready for a full-time People Director, let’s connect.
