Kristina Pavlicek — Head of Talent

People Operations leader with 7+ years of progressive experience building and running People systems for early-stage, fast-moving teams across the U.S. and Canada. I’ve often been the first or sole People Ops hire, owning the full employee lifecycle and creating the processes, policies and workflows that help companies scale clearly and confidently. My work includes HRIS administration, policy development, LOA programs across U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions, onboarding and offboarding, benefits, compliance, performance cycle operations, and internal documentation. I partner closely with Legal, Finance, Payroll and IT, acting as the connective layer that keeps workflows accurate, consistent and easy for teams to adopt. I take a practical, people-friendly approach to operations and use a People-as-Product mindset to design systems that meet a company where it is, reduce ambiguity and support the next stage of growth. I enjoy roles that blend hands-on execution with operational clarity, especially in distributed or hybrid teams where good systems really matter. Currently exploring People Ops roles in NYC or remote.
