The Pattern We See

You built a great product.
Now the organisation
is the bottleneck.

65%
of SaaS companies between 50–200 employees have no senior People leader

They grow fast, hire aggressively — and then hit the wall. Attrition climbs. Performance breaks down. The board starts asking People questions the CEO can't answer.

"The infrastructure simply wasn't built for this stage. And a generalist HR hire won't solve it."
Headcount grows 2×. Structure doesn't.
Reporting lines blur. Ownership gaps appear. Decisions slow down at exactly the moment they need to speed up.
Performance management is undefined — or broken at scale.
No consistent framework. No performance visibility. High performers leave. Low performers stay.
Compensation is a risk and an accident.
No architecture behind it. Equity inconsistency. Retention risk buried in spreadsheets.
The board is asking People questions. The CEO has no answers.
Workforce strategy isn't connected to EBITDA. People data doesn't meet investor-grade standards.

Engagement Process

Diagnose. Design. Deploy.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence — no wasted time, no discovery theatre. We move fast because we've done this before.

Diagnose

Deliverable: Board-ready gap analysis + roadmap delivered within the first two weeks. No vague findings — a prioritised action plan.

2
Design

Deliverable: Implementation plan + ownership matrix agreed before any execution begins. Everyone knows what's being built and who owns it.

3
Deploy

Deliverable: Operational infrastructure + KPI baseline live within 60–90 days. Measurable. Board-ready. Yours to run.

Operator Credibility

Built in the environments
your investors recognise.

Senior People executive with 15+ years of scaling global SaaS and PE-backed technology organisations across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.

Most fractional CPO providers are generalist HR consultants. Eugen's background is structurally different — built from operating experience inside some of the most demanding scaling environments in B2B SaaS.

"This isn't advisory from the outside. It's operating experience from the inside."

People infrastructure through private equity transitions and value creation programmes

Workforce strategy connected to commercial objectives, not HR theory
