(01) SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
Startups, scale-ups or established
+
Your managers don't know how to manage. Performance is slipping and you can't tell if it's a people problem or a process one.
+
You're running HR, People and Culture work on the side of your real job (COO, CFO, founder etc.) and it's eating your week.
+
You've just raised, pivoted, or just lost someone senior – and the team isn't built for what's next.
+
You know you need senior people leadership. But you don't need a full-time hire, and a generic HR consultant won't cut it.
(02) SENIOR PEOPLE PARTNER
Much more than
just "HR"
Most fractional or HR consultancy support is reactive and generic.
Culture Architect works the other way around – we're proactive and holistic because we know that problems are never caused by one thing. Your business and people are unique to you. It's about getting to know your teams and where you want to go – we then set you up for success.
We're embedded with you, solutions focused and built for teams in motion. Expertise, strategy, and execution all in one.

(03) THREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
There's something for everyone
We work with global remote companies - startups, scale-ups or established teams that are on a transformation journey.
i. THE FRACTIONAL
Part-time Partner
"A senior people leader in your team, without the headcount."
I work alongside your leadership 1–2 days a week, ongoing – with quick email and message support in between, so you're never waiting for the next session to get help. People strategy, manager coaching, hiring, performance, the lot. For teams that need real depth, not advice from the sidelines.
Best for · ongoing · 6+ months
ii. THE EMBED
Full-time intensive
"Six to twelve weeks to fix what's broken."
Full-time, fully embedded. We tackle the highest-leverage problems – manager capability, structure, performance, change – and build up your existing HR team to scale alongside the business. Whether it's a post-funding sprint or a gap between senior hires, you get back a team that runs itself.
Best for · post-funding · HR gaps
iii. THE BUILD
Scoped project
"Done properly, on a defined timeline."
Org design. Talent mapping. Succession planning. Defined deliverables, no padding. For when you know exactly what you need built, and you need a safe pair of hands to build it well.
Best for · specific scoped work
(04) WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Real teams, real impact
"
Napa was an absolute rockstar on my team at Moonvalley, where she supported our international and UK teams as a People Partner. She made my job so much easier – and made our entire team and organization better in the process. High leverage is the word I'd use for anyone bringing Napa into their org.
"
Co Founder & COO - Moonvalley AI
"
One of the most impactful things she did was help transform the culture within the finance team. Through a thoughtful mix of strategic people partnering and strong relationship-building skills, she supported the team to move from low engagement to a more connected and motivated team.
"
VP of People - GoHenry
"
I would highly recommend working with Napa. Napa provided HR advice over a 5 month period and offered invaluable support to tackle some big HR challenges we were facing. Napa would always respond quickly and often go above and beyond by providing support at sometimes at short notice.
"
Head of People & Ops - Hatch Enterprise
"
Napa became my trusted advisor when we were handling complex employee issues, hiring and going through tough restructuring conversations. She also ran very insightful culture sessions for senior leader team - helping us understand our current culture. It was invaluable having her embedded within the team.

(05) ABOUT CULTURE ARCHITECT
Founder for founders
.png)
Hi, I’m Napa, Founder of Culture Architect.
I've spent over a decade working in HR - across global remote teams, scaling businesses from founder-led to fully-formed large global organisations. My experience covers the entire spectrum of HR, from building people ops from scratch to supporting CEOs on their talent strategies.
To complement my hands-on experience I also hold a Master's in HR Management (CIPD Level 7) and a Psychology degree (BSc).
I started Culture Architect because I kept seeing generic HR being dropped into businesses that needed the opposite. Every team is different. Every founder is different. And when it comes to people ops and strategies - they need to reflect these unique qualities.
Every client I work with gets the same thing: someone who actually understands their business, listens, and builds solutions that are unique to their teams. No generic playbooks or templates - or AI slops. You'll be guaranteed to get clarity, structure, and someone in your corner.

(07) A FEW QUESTIONS
Before you book, a few answers
How quickly can we start?
Most engagements start within 1–2 weeks of a discovery call. Embed sprints sometimes start sooner if a slot's open.
Are you UK-only or global?
UK-based, fully remote, and working with teams globally. Most clients are in the UK, EU and North America.
What if we're not sure which offer fits?
That's what the discovery call is for. We'll talk through where your team is and I'll be honest if it's not a fit.
What's the investment?
Investment depends on team size, scope, and pace – I keep things flexible so the engagement fits your runway and complexity. We'll talk numbers on our discovery call, once I understand what you actually need.
