HR Consulting & Executive Coaching
I help founders, executives, and people teams build the leadership, culture, and HR foundations their business deserves.
What I do
One-on-one coaching for leaders navigating growth, transition, and high-stakes decisions. Clarity, confidence, and measurable progress.
A standing partner for your team's day-to-day people questions: employee relations and difficult conversations, compensation and pay reviews, and guidance on everything in between — without hiring full-time HR.
Practical HR foundations: org design, performance frameworks, policies, and people operations that scale with you.
Engaging sessions on feedback culture, communication, and team dynamics — designed for real behavior change.
Stay protected and stay organized: I help you build employee handbooks, policies, and compliance practices that hold up — written for how your business actually runs.
Job descriptions, interview process, and a first-90-days plan that sets new hires up to succeed — so the people you bring in actually stay.

About me
My career has been built in the sports and entertainment space, where I've led HR and workplace programs and provided strategic oversight of IT infrastructure and facilities. Along the way I've held leadership roles at several large organizations — teams and companies where the pace is fast, the standards are high, and the people have to work well together.
Through SCKHOURY, I bring that playbook to founders and startup teams: the HR foundations, leadership practices, and compliance big organizations take for granted — built at a scale that fits yours.
My approach is direct, warm, and practical: no jargon, no cookie-cutter frameworks — just honest conversation and strategies that actually stick.
