Fractional HR · People Analytics · SPHR

Sure-footed HR for steep terrain.

Senior HR partnership for growing companies — strategy, systems, and people analytics from an HRBP who has guided organizations from 25 to 1,100 employees.

The problem

Somewhere between 25 and 300 employees, ad-hoc HR stops working.

Performance reviews get skipped. Compensation drifts out of fairness. Good people leave, and nobody can say why. You don't need an HR platform subscription or a junior generalist — you need someone who has sat beside C-suites through exactly this stage and knows which systems to build first.

That's what I do. I'm Kris Brown — SPHR-certified HR business partner, MBA, and MIT-trained in applied AI. I've built HR functions from scratch, led 1,100-person client groups, and turned messy employee data into decisions leaders actually trust.

What I do

Three ways to work together

01

Fractional HR Partnership

A senior HR partner, a few days a month. Performance cycles, compensation planning, employee relations, org design — 10+ years of HRBP judgment without the full-time hire.

Behind the practice

Steady judgment on steep ground.

Capra is Latin for mountain goat — the animal that stays calm and sure-footed on terrain that would drop anything else. I named the practice after it because that's the job. (I also spend my weekends ultra-running actual mountains, so the metaphor is field-tested.)
