Meet Katie:

Hi, I’m Katie Krupar, a San Diego-based People Operations and Talent Leader.

With 16+ years in talent acquisition, people operations, and leadership coaching, I help businesses scale strategically and sustainably. I was proud to be part of GoFundMe’s journey, joining as employee #50 and leading it through growth & scaling to 1,000+ employees worldwide.

A Message From Our Founder: 

Growing fast shouldn’t mean burning out. I help startups and SMBs eliminate inefficiencies, remove bottlenecks, and build sustainable systems that fuel growth. If your team is stretched too thin and things are starting to break, I can help you regain control and scale with confidence.

Our Latest Client Project: We absolutely Loving working with this client!

As part of our continued partnership with Arendsen & Braddock Law Firm, May marked another month of meaningful progress.

We conducted a detailed leadership survey review, finalized key SOPs for Filevine and Zoom Chat, and advanced the development of their comprehensive Employee Handbook. We also supported Zamantha’s successful transition to full-time, refined job descriptions to better define team roles, and provided ongoing operational and strategic HR support. These efforts reflect our shared commitment to building a strong, scalable foundation for long-term success.

We’re proud to be supporting four incredible clients, each committed to building stronger teams and smarter operations. From strategic HR support to streamlined processes, we’ve helped them lay the groundwork for sustainable growth—and we’re just getting started. As we continue to grow, we’re ready and excited to partner with more mission-driven teams looking to scale with intention.
