About Julia Baun

I build talent and people systems that enable organizations to scale with intention, from executive hiring and recruiting operations to job architecture, performance management, and workforce planning.As Founder of The Launchwell Group, I partner with VC-backed, PE-backed, and transitioning organizations as a Fractional Talent & People Executive. I embed directly with leadership teams to strengthen both immediate execution and the infrastructure that supports long-term growth. Our model combines experienced talent leadership with the flexibility of fractional support, helping organizations scale with clarity and discipline.My background spans high-growth startups, mission-driven organizations, and global teams, giving me a cross-functional lens on how strong, scalable systems are built. I’ve built and operationalized end-to-end talent infrastructure, spanning executive search, job architecture, compensation design, performance management, and learning systems, ensuring people strategy evolves alongside company growth.I’m drawn to organizations that treat talent as a core business function, where growth is planned, leadership is intentional, and people decisions are made with clarity.If you’re building, scaling, or rethinking your talent and people infrastructure, I’d love to connect.
