About Klara
I work with startups and scale-ups across Europe and the US, supporting founders, exec teams, and People leaders as they scale.
My work sits across People Ops, culture, employer branding, and operations. I’ve built people systems from scratch (hiring, onboarding, performance, feedback, career paths), led employer branding and EVP work end-to-end, and partnered closely with leadership on org design, remote setups, and team development. I step into complex environments, bringing clarity and making things work in practice, not just on paper.
I’m hands-on, direct, and easy to work with. I love what I do, and it shows.
