Elaine Page — CEO
People-First, Business-Driven, Relentlessly Curious. I don’t just lead HR, I build high-impact businesses where people thrive. With over 20 years of experience spanning high-growth startups and Fortune 500 enterprises, I’ve built and led HR functions at scale, driving business transformation and performance. Whether it’s integrating a $2B acquisition, scaling a start-up to IPO readiness, or driving culture transformation in high-change environments, my focus is always on aligning people strategy with business goals to deliver measurable outcomes. As a Chief People Officer, I’ve navigated PE-backed, hyper-growth environments and complex M&A integrations. At Stripe, I've led a multi-million-dollar business unit following its acquisition of TaxJar—the largest fully remote acquisition in U.S. history. At TaxJar, I designed and executed people strategies that propelled hyper-growth, positioning the company as an irresistible acquisition target. I thrive in environments where HR must be both operationally excellent and deeply strategic, enabling scale, transformation, and long-term growth. I partner with CEOs, boards, and executive teams to architect talent strategies that fuel business success. Beyond my corporate roles, I co-founded The Good Trouble Company, a consultancy that accelerates global transformation. Whether advising companies on scaling with purpose, designing high-performance cultures, or coaching leaders to unlock their full potential, I’m passionate about solving complex challenges through innovation, storytelling, and execution at speed. My philosophy? The question isn’t if something can be done, it’s how we make it happen. Let’s build something extraordinary. 🚀 Notable Strengths: ✅ M&A Integrations & Organizational Transformation – Aligning people, culture, and operational structures to maximize value. ✅ Leadership Development & Executive Coaching – Equipping leaders with the skills and mindset to drive performance. ✅ Talent Strategy & Workforce Planning – Ensuring companies attract, retain, and develop top-tier talent. ✅ DEI & Culture Building – Creating inclusive, high-trust environments where people and businesses thrive. ✅ HR Tech & People Analytics – Leveraging data to drive smarter, faster decision-making.
