Joan wanjau
Founder
I specialize in driving organizational growth by aligning industry expertise with the unique lived experiences of employees. As a fractional HR executive, I bring a strategic, results-driven approach to help businesses foster stronger, more inclusive teams. My expertise spans HR policy development, employee relations, performance management, and building cultures of inclusion.
One of my key strengths is coming into organizations with inexperienced HR teams, often formed out of necessity in start-ups or small businesses. I train these teams, laying the foundation for a well-functioning HR department. Whether it's helping existing HR staff grow into their roles or building the department from scratch, I’m committed to setting up a structure that can thrive long after my work is done. I also assist in hiring the right HR professionals to lead the department once it's established, ensuring sustainability. Even after my official role ends, I remain a resource, always open to providing guidance when needed, but my passion is to help organizations grow a healthy, self-sufficient HR team.
“Rooted in my Kenyan heritage, I approach every challenge with a profound respect for diverse perspectives and a focus on elevating organizational success.”
With a deep commitment to diversity and a passion for empowering employees, I leverage both my professional background and my lived experience to create impactful solutions.
Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with start ups or small businesses to navigate the complexities of employee relations, talent acquisition, onboarding, benefits management, and vendor relations. I’m excited to contribute to your team by delivering flexible, high-impact HR leadership that enhances operational efficiency and supports your strategic goals.
Let’s work together to unlock the full potential of your workforce and take your organization to the next level.
