About Maya

HR that moves the business forward

I’m an HR executive and business advisor who has led HR for companies of every size, including Fortune 500 organizations, across manufacturing, field services, building products distribution, and quick service restaurants. Most of my career has been spent leading distributed, frontline, and field-based teams, where HR decisions show up directly in turnover, staffing, and service.
HR should do more than support the business. It should help move it forward.
I have led HR through more than 75 acquisitions and integrations and many new location launches. Since 2019 I have also served as a fractional Chief People Officer, advising a CEO and board on workforce strategy, succession planning, and compensation. I work directly with owners and leadership teams to put the right people, structure, and practices in place.
Through PxP HR, powered by SRV HR, I give growing companies experienced HR leadership without the cost of a full-time executive, so leaders spend less time reacting to people problems and more time growing the business.

Is your people strategy keeping up with your growth?

Once a company passes 50 employees, informal ways of hiring, managing, and paying people stop working. Roles blur, managers handle the same problems differently, and good employees leave. That’s where I come in. I put clear roles, consistent management practices, and scalable HR systems in place, built for how your business actually runs.

The challenges that quietly cap your growth
