About me
A Note From Our Founder
My vision has always been to contribute to enabling small businesses to step up, show up and succeed. By crafting bespoke learning initiatives like skills programmes, accellerators and incubators, I want to impart the importance of accountability and drive the ethos of transparency, fairness and integrity.
Compelled to make this vision a reality, I harnessed my 17+ years’ experience in Human Resources, Enterprise and Supplier Development, Skills Development, Change Management, Labour Relations, and Compliance, and founded HR Solved in 2018 after 4 years of informal trading to provide my clients with tailor made solutions that can address their needs through learning and development and navigating change in the healthiest manner possible.
