About Greta Fitzgerald

I’ve been on the front lines of HR during some of the most pivotal moments a company can face—hypergrowth, international expansion, executive transitions, and cultural overhauls. Building my career at global startups, I worked side by side with founders to build scalable people systems, support teams across time zones, and lead through rapid, often chaotic change.It wasn’t always neat or easy—but it was the kind of challenge I thrive on.In those high-stakes moments, I became more than an HR leader—I was a translator between vision and execution, a coach for new managers, a sounding board for executives, and a calm, clear presence when everything felt urgent. I learned how to design HR that is deeply strategic—built to fuel business growth and support people at every level. Today, I partner with startups and growing businesses as a fractional HR leader, bringing 15+ years of global experience to help companies scale. I step in as a trusted extension of your leadership team—without the overhead of a full-time hire.Here’s what I bring to the table:• A track record of driving employee engagement tied to business outcomes• Leadership of high-visibility, high-impact HR programs• Extensive experience coaching executives and people managers• Expertise in global benefits design and execution• Excellence in compliance and project management• A knack for finding cost-saving opportunities across HR functions• Discretion and care with sensitive, confidential data• Exceptional communication—written, verbal, and interpersonalI’m a proactive, compassionate professional who brings order to complexity, supports growth with structure, and always leads with heart. And yes—I believe excellence and fun can (and should) go hand in hand.If you\'re ready to outsource your HR and want a strategic partner who gets it and gets things done, let’s connect.Email: G••••@bespokepeople.co
