David Ogden Fairhurst ChCCIPD, FRSA

As Founder and CEO of OrgShakers, I work with Founders, CEOs, and HR leaders who want to get the very best out of their people .. whether they are scaling, transforming, or navigating complex organisational challenges. I help leadership teams build the workforce, culture, and capabilities required to deliver their business ambitions, without losing sight of what makes their organisation distinctive.My focus is simple: turning people strategy into business results. That means aligning leaders around a clear direction, shaping high-performance cultures, designing structures that unlock accountability, and ensuring organisations have the talent, skills, and leadership strength required for sustainable growth.Before founding OrgShakers, I served as Global Chief People Officer at McDonald’s, supporting a world-leading brand to deliver workforce transformation at scale. That experience taught me how to balance commercial priorities with cultural nuance and operational reality .. lessons I now bring to organisations of every size, from founders and SMEs to large, complex enterprises.Today, whether a client needs fractional CPO support, leadership advisory, HR transformation, or targeted help across talent, culture, change, or organisation design, my role is to provide clarity, confidence, and a practical path forward.I have been recognised by Marquis Who’s Who for leadership and contribution in the field of human resources.Every business is unique, but one truth is constant: success is built from the inside out. When people are aligned, inspired, and equipped to deliver, performance follows.If you’re facing a people or leadership challenge and want an experienced, practitioner-led partner to help you navigate it, let’s talk.
