Your HR function is carrying work that AI could be doing.
I spent 15 years inside people functions at every stage of scale.
I understand what agentic AI does and could do inside those functions, and how it is evolving each day.
I built a working model. Here's what it showed.
So far, most conversations about AI in HR stay theoretical. I wanted to see what it actually looks like when you run it.
I built an end-to-end demo of three HR workflows — performance review, calibration, succession — on a model company with 300 employees. Synthetic data, real architecture, no pitch.
Twelve minutes to walk through. Everything openable.
What's in the background
15 years building people infrastructure across hypergrowth startups, mid-market, and Fortune 500 across 17 countries.
Appointed HR Business Partner for Mastercard's AI Centre of Excellence during its formation.
Activated Oracle Fusion and SAP SuccessFactors at companies where both sat unused - and got teams to actually use them.
89% internal redeployment rate on a 200-person divestiture. Industry norm is 50%.
Built complete HR operating systems for companies with nothing in place - still in active use.
Hands-on experience with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity.
CPHR, MBA, Google AI Professional Certificate.
What I'm seeing in people functions right now
HR teams have AI tools and no framework for using them. The tools sit.
Companies are scaling by adding HR headcount when the leverage is in redesigning the workflows.
Managers are already pasting employee data into ChatGPT to prep for reviews. Nobody's governing it.
The CEO is asking what HR contributes to growth. The answer isn't ready.
AI is being used in hiring and performance, with no one accountable for what happens when it's wrong.
Employment law implications are being sidelined, or on the flip side, AI is not being adopted due to a highly conservative approach.
These are the patterns I keep seeing. If any of them are live where you are, that's worth a conversation.
Where I can help:
THE AI HR AUDIT
A mapped view of where AI can actually eliminate work in your people function… and where it can't. The output is a prioritised roadmap, not a report.
WORKSHOPS AND CAPABILITY BUILDING
I train your HR team to operationalise AI across the workflows that consume the most time. This is not a prompting workshop.
It covers workflow redesign, bias detection, governance guardrails, and where human judgment must stay in the loop. I work with whatever AI tool you currently use.
ADVISORY CONVERSATIONS
For HR leaders and executives, thinking through AI in their people function. No formal scope required. If you're building something and want a thinking partner who has done this work, I'm happy to talk.
If something here is relevant to what you're building, I'd like to hear about it.
We will identify where your people function is carrying work AI could be doing, and what it would take to change that.
