About Lynn

A business leader who specializes in HR

I’m a fractional HR executive and the founder of Goldmine HR. For more than 20 years I’ve helped founders build the leadership, structure, and people infrastructure the next stage of the business requires.
The best people strategy strengthens business performance.
My career has been built at inflection points: startup, rapid expansion, acquisition, restructuring, and organizational change. I’ve built HR functions from the ground up, supported multi-state growth, integrated acquisitions, modernized HR operations, and helped executives work through difficult workforce decisions across healthcare and clinical research, manufacturing, logistics, technology, and professional services.
Through Goldmine HR, powered by SRV HR, I work with founders and executive teams who need senior HR leadership before a full-time CHRO makes sense. I build what is missing, align the organization, strengthen the leaders, and put solutions in place the business can actually sustain.
Ready for your business to thrive?

Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.

You already know your people drive your results. You just don’t have the time, or the in-house expertise, to build the systems that get the most from them. That’s where I come in. As your fractional HR executive, I install proven talent strategy and HR systems that are repeatable, scalable, and built for your business.

Misalignment and disorder that quietly erode engagement and profit.
