Stephen Hamlet
I'm a businessperson first. I help leaders implement proven talent strategy and HR systems that drive real business results.
Strategy that shows up in the numbers
Stephen connects people strategy to measurable business results. Two engagements that define how he works:
At Agilyx & Cyclyx, partnered with the Board and executive team to build scalable talent management systems that reduced turnover by 30% while fueling aggressive performance and growth targets.
Cut attrition by as much as 50% by pairing operational rigor with a business-first approach to people strategy, sustaining performance and continuity through the COVID-19 pandemic and major organizational change.
A business-first HR leader who has succeeded through disruption
Stephen Hamlet is a dynamic, forward-thinking fractional CHRO and SRVHR people-strategy advisor based in Greenland, New Hampshire. With more than 20 years of experience, he has led transformative people initiatives that unlock enterprise value, accelerate growth, and build organizational resilience across healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing, waste management, and high-growth technology.
I'm a businessperson. I understand what you're going through and can build the people systems that let you focus on running your business.
Known for aligning people strategy with business imperatives, Stephen has partnered with executive teams and boards to build scalable HR infrastructure, guide organizations through rapid expansion, lead HR integration for billion-dollar acquisitions, and maintain continuity through major disruptions including the COVID-19 pandemic.
His background spans start-ups, global corporations, and complex technical environments, including leadership roles with Samsung Medical (NeuroLogica/Boston Imaging), Crane Currency, B/E Aerospace, and Waste Management. Throughout, he has kept a clear focus on delivering measurable results and strengthening organizational health.
Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of their 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 CHRO, I install proven talent strategy and HR systems that are repeatable, scalable, and built for your business.
