Fractional Head of HR & Strategic HR Partner for Tech start-ups and scale-ups @ acHRive

About

🎯 Strategic HR is often the last thing on a founder's mind until something breaks.→ A key employee leaves. → A team conflict escalates. → Growth creates complexity. → Suddenly, HR is no longer an afterthought. I've seen this happen across many companies. For 13+ years, I've worked in HR through different chapters of company building, including the messy in between. 🌀And I kept seeing the same pattern: Smart people trying to do great work in systems that no longer support them.→ Roles become unclear. → Responsibility grows faster than authority. → Expectations shift. → The organization grows, but the structure does not keep up.→ HR processes stay reactive. → And what once worked at 10, 30 or 50 people quietly starts slowing the business down.For a long time, I tried to fix it on the people side: with better hiring, better onboarding, better feedback, better culture initiatives. Helpful? Yes.Enough? No.Then I realized: I was often only managing symptoms.That's why I founded acHRive and what I focus on today. I bring clarity into complex work environments, so people can stay effective without burning out, and companies can grow without slowing themselves down.I’m driven by a simple idea: Work should not drain people. It should enable them.I care about building environments where:→ people stay healthy and effective→ structure supports instead of overwhelms→ growth feels sustainableCurious how this could work for your company?Let's talk. No pitch. No slides. More clarity.📩 marina.eichhorn@achrive.com 🌐 www.achrive.com

I work with people and organizations who are ready to do things differently. 💪 🔸 What I do: I work as a Fractional Head of HR and Strategic HR Partner for Swiss tech start-ups and scale-ups. That means: I bring a senior HR perspective without the cost of a full-time hire, for a defined chapter, a recurring rhythm, or a critical transition. 🔸 Where I fit: → Fractional Head of HR Your HR lead on demand, typically 20 to 40% engagement for a defined period. → Strategic HR Partner Senior sparring on people strategy, leadership, culture, roles and org design. → Interim HR Bridge Coverage during growth or transition until your next permanent HR hire is in place. → HR Due Diligence A clear view on people risks, HR structures, leadership dependencies and organizational readiness before funding, exit or acquisition. 🔸 Why companies work with me: ✓ Built HR from 0 to exit at a Swiss SaaS scale-up (1plusX → TripleLift) ✓ International HR experience across CH, DE, FR, UK, plus location openings in JP and the US ✓ Agile HR mindset: Scrum Product Owner, Sociocracy 3.0 Practitioner ✓ Strategic and hands-on, strong in both ✓ Lecturer in Human Resources Management at Swiss business schools #HRStrategy #PeopleAndCulture #HRDesign #AgileHR #WorkWithPurpose #FemaleFounder
