A people strategist who moves the business forward
Maya Hayes is a strategic HR executive and business advisor with more than 20 years of experience helping organizations navigate growth, transformation, and change. She has built her career partnering with business leaders to solve complex people and organizational challenges while building stronger teams, better leaders, and the structure businesses need to grow.
HR should do more than support the business. It should help move it forward.
Maya brings the experience of leading HR in large, complex organizations and translates it into practical solutions for growing businesses. She partners with owners and leadership teams to tackle the challenges that often come with growth — unclear roles and accountability, inconsistent management practices, hiring and retaining the right people, performance issues, leadership gaps, and HR processes that haven't kept pace with the business.
Through her consulting practice, powered by SRV HR, Maya gives growing companies access to experienced HR leadership without having to build a full internal HR function — helping leaders put the right people, structure, practices, and leadership capabilities in place so they can spend less time reacting to people problems and more time growing the business.
Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.
