EXECUTIVE COACHING • HR STRATEGY
The people strategy you need isn't on a slide deck.
It's buried three layers below what your culture survey is reporting.
Julie Nyberg helps mission-driven organizations diagnose what's actually breaking — and build the talent infrastructure to fix it.

Most organizations don't have a talent problem. They have a design problem.
The right people are usually there. They're just not in the right
configuration — not operating in roles built for where the
organization is actually going.
Across 25+ years running the people function at every scale —
from a $15 billion Amazon business to early-stage startups to PE
portfolio companies — Julie has developed a pattern library most
HR advisors don't have access to.
The diagnostic isn't the deliverable. The structural clarity is.
Three Ways to Work Together
ENGAGEMENTS
Talent Infrastructure Pressure-Test
For organizations that know something is off — and need to know exactly what.
A 90-day diagnostic engagement. Julie goes deep — interviews, artifacts, direct observation — and surfaces the structural root cause, not the presenting symptom. Organizations leave with a clear picture of what's actually happening and a 90-day execution plan to address it.
This is not a culture survey. This is not a framework applied generically. This is a surgical read of a specific organization, delivered in language the leadership team can act on.
01
Fractional Chief People Advisor
For organizations ready to build the fix.
A 6-month embedded strategic partnership. Julie works alongside the leadership team as an expert in residence — not a full-time hire, not a traditional consultant. Two to three priority work streams per quarter, drawn from a defined roadmap. The systems, structures, and leadership capacity the organization needs to sustain its growth.
Built for organizations that have identified the problem and are ready for someone to help them build the solution.
02
Pivot Point: The Moment Trajectory Changes
For senior leaders who are ready to lead differently.
A private, six-month cohort for mission-driven leaders who want to get rigorous about the discipline of talent management — not leadership philosophy, not soft skills, but the specific work of building a bench, calibrating performance, having the hard conversation before it becomes a crisis.
Small group. Practitioner-led. Built for leaders who take their mission as seriously as their results.

ABOUT
Not advising on talent strategy. Running it.
Julie Nyberg spent 25+ years running the people function in some of the most demanding organizations in the world — Amazon Prime ($15 billion business, 22 countries), Microsoft at global scale, Nintendo, and PE portfolio advisory. Not advising on talent strategy. Running it.
She now works independently with mission-driven growth organizations that are scaling faster than their people infrastructure can currently support.

"Julie came into our organization and performed an overall talent analysis, created a dashboard for each leader, and linked our talent to our strategy. Our employee experience rankings moved up 10 points in overall satisfaction."
— Nicole, Series B Tech Company
-
"Julie is one of those rare treasures in the world that after you find her and use her unbelievable talent and skills, you wonder how you ever lived without her. She goes above and beyond as a partner and can articulate the needs of the business before they even recognize it."
— Meredith, CHRO, Series D Fintech
BY INVITATION
The Leadership Roundtable
A free, invite-only monthly call for senior leaders navigating talent and people challenges at scaling organizations.
Small group. No pitch. Real conversation about the problems that don't get named in the all-hands.
If you already know something is off, that's enough to start.
Most engagements begin with a single conversation. Not a sales call. A diagnostic one.
