Fast-growing companies often build their teams before they build their HR function, and increasingly build part of that team abroad before they build it at home. That gap is where things get expensive: mismatched compensation, culture friction, HR systems that don't scale. I started this practice to close that gap, using the same HR judgment I've applied inside global organizations.
I'm Leonard, a global HR leader with vetted expertise advising leaders across the U.S., Brazil, and other international markets.
My work has included supporting senior leaders inside complex organizations such as Hitachi Vantara, Nutanix, Motorola, Samsung, building compensation and HR structures across borders, leading regional HR across Latin American countries, and managing HR through a cross-border acquisition in São Paulo, Brazil.
On the AI side, that's backed by formal training, IBM's Generative AI for HR Professionals certificate and CrewAI's Multi-AI Agent Systems program, plus tools I've actually built and shipped, including a behavioral hiring assessment and the AI-powered decision-support platform behind this site's own free tools.
