Fractional HR & Operations for Growing Businesses

Senior HR and Operations Leadership, Without the Full-Time Hire

A woman with long, wavy blonde hair smiling outdoors, wearing a black button-up shirt, with a blurred natural background.

Pati Jones brings 23+ years of experience running the people and operations side of growing companies, including venture-backed startups at Idealab. As your fractional HR and operations lead, she builds the systems that get owners out of the weeds: hiring and onboarding, handbooks and compliance, workflows, vendors, and the day-to-day structure that keeps a business running. When you need it, the same team handles corporate events and bookkeeping, so one trusted partner covers the work that usually falls through the cracks. Based in the Hudson Valley and serving clients through New York City.

Sound Familiar?

No One Owns HR

Hiring, onboarding, handbooks, and compliance land on the owner’s desk and never quite get finished.

Operations Held Together by Hand

Unclear workflows and one-off fixes slow growth and wear out your best people.

Events That Eat Your Week

Vendors, logistics, and timelines for corporate and community events pull your team off their real jobs.

Books Always Behind

Late reconciliations and messy records leave you guessing about cash flow and profit.
