Building People Infrastructure for Scaling Businesses

Fractional HR Direction and People Transformation for founder-led, PE-backed, and growing organisations.

DavenportHR partners with businesses that need senior HR expertise without a full-time hire. We build the people foundations that let you scale with confidence, from org design and performance management through to recruitment and HR operations.

What I Do

As a Fractional HR Director, I embed directly into your business as the senior people voice you don't yet have in-house.

• Org design and workforce planning

• Recruitment strategy and hiring support

• Performance management frameworks

• HR operations and infrastructure, built from scratch or overhauled

Over a decade of experience scaling technology businesses means I know what breaks as companies grow, and how to build people systems that hold.

Global and Cross-Border Expertise

Many of the businesses I work with are expanding beyond their home markets, and increasingly, that means Africa.

DavenportHR has deep, specialist experience connecting international companies with vetted, in-country HR and payroll expertise across African markets. Whether you're a European business exploring African expansion or a growing company thinking about cross-border mobility more broadly, this is where that specialism comes in.

This expertise also shapes In My Orbit, my podcast on building teams across borders, featuring conversations with people who move talent and build teams internationally.

Why DavenportHR

• Senior HR expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire

• A proven track record building people infrastructure in scaling tech businesses

• Specialist cross-border and African market capability when you need it
