SKILLS
ABOUT MIKE WRIGHT
I lead People strategy for global, remote-first organisations, aligning talent, performance and organisational design with business growth.Currently, I own the end-to-end People function for an international software engineering consultancy, partnering directly with the CEO and leadership team to build a high-performing, distributed workforce. My focus is on ensuring the organisation can scale effectively—balancing commercial outcomes with strong leadership capability, clear performance expectations and a consistent employee experience.My work spans- Defining and executing People strategy aligned to business objectives - Building performance frameworks that drive accountability and output in remote environments - Designing scalable hiring, onboarding and reward structures across multiple geographies - Coaching and supporting leaders to improve capability, decision-making and team effectiveness - Using data and insight to inform workforce planning, retention and organisational developmentMost recently, I’ve led the introduction of a company-wide performance framework and defined organisational values to support a scaling, distributed workforce.I have a track record of operating as a standalone People leader, building functions from the ground up and embedding structures that enable growth, clarity and consistency. This includes introducing performance management frameworks, improving hiring approaches, and establishing people systems that provide meaningful insight to leadership.My approach is pragmatic and commercially focused. I’m less interested in process for its own sake and more focused on how People strategy contributes to business performance—whether that’s improving retention, strengthening leadership, or enabling teams to deliver at a higher level.
