Phillis Fajardo
Consulting & Coaching
People & Culture Partner for Growing Organizations
I help small, international organizations build strong people foundations, develop capable leaders, and create workplaces where both people and businesses can thrive.
Hello, I’m Phillis.
I’m a People & Culture Consultant and a Career & Leadership Coach with over 15 years of international experience in Europe, the Middle East & North Africa, and Asia Pacific. Throughout my career, I have partnered with organizations, leaders, and professionals across industries and cultures to strengthen people practices, develop talent, and drive organizational effectiveness. My experience spans multinational corporations, startups, and scale-ups, supporting them through periods of expansion, transformation, leadership transitions, and evolving workforce needs. Today, I work as an independent Consultant and Coach, partnering with leaders and teams in a fractional, interim, or project-based capacity. I meet organizations where they are, providing practical, people-centered support tailored to their unique priorities, challenges, and stage of development.
My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on implementation. Whether I’m helping shape people strategy, facilitating leadership development, designing performance management processes, or coaching employees through growth and change, my focus remains the same: creating environments where people can do their best work and organizations can achieve sustainable success.
WORKING TOGETHER
Every organization is different, and so are its people challenges. That’s why my approach is never one-size-fits-all. By focusing on the specific needs of small, growing companies, I provide the agility, practical expertise, and personalized support that larger firms and agencies often overlook. Partnering with me means having a trusted HR partner who takes the time to understand your business, culture, and goals. I become embedded in your organization while maintaining the objectivity of an external advisor, enabling me to build trust across the organization and act as a bridge between leaders, teams, and employees. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we might work together. Please feel free to reach out at hello@phillisfajardo.com to schedule an introductory conversation.
As organizations grow, the need for more strategic and structured people practices often emerges sooner than expected. I help companies establish, strengthen, and scale their HR foundations by providing experienced support when and where it’s needed — without the cost and commitment of a full-time HR function.
My services are designed to help create effective people practices, develop leaders, and foster high-performing, engaged teams.
- Fractional & Interim HR Partnership. I provide flexible, hands-on HR leadership and strategic people support to growing organizations that need experienced HR expertise without the commitment of a full-time hire. Whether you’re building your HR function from scratch or simply need additional capacity and expertise, I can integrate seamlessly into your team and provide practical support.
- HR Consulting & Organizational Development. I help companies design and implement scalable people practices through initiatives such as performance & competency frameworks, job architecture, career pathways, employee engagement action plans, and employee handbooks.
- Career, Leadership & Team Development. I help leaders and employees strengthen their skills, confidence, and effectiveness through coaching, facilitation, and development interventions that support individual and team success.
